Jamaican woman remanded for burning daughter on lit stove

A 24-year-old Jamaican woman was remanded in custody after being accused of placing her 2-year-old daughter on a four burner stove.

Media reports from that island indicate the child is in hospital suffering from intensive burns.

The woman has been charged with assault occasioning grievous bodily harm.

According to media reports on May 27, the woman had a domestic dispute with her common law husband and locked herself in a room where she reportedly placed the child on the lit stove.

The screaming of the child attracted neighbors who rescued her and rushed her to hospital.

The court has ordered a psychiatric evaluation of the woman.

    she aint sick at all what physco evaluation that. if she was mad she should wait when the man come back and burn him, not the child. the child did not send to call her. You have your problem with your man, deal with him and live the innocent child out of it, but as i always say wicked people have their turn and it those be worse. Lord stretch your healing hands over this child and protect him or her always.

    The nature of reality shows that these things are capable of happening to anyone. These Teens could drive you to your limits…not forgetting the Devil is not out for those that are already lost, but he seeks those that are “in Christ.”

    What is wrong with mothers nowadays, i understand the stress of handling a child because i have one of my own. But to punish your child for a man.not now fro you to get stronger and focuse more on your child. From my point of view she not no dam crazy, she did it on purpose and she know what she was doing. she deserve to be punished.
    And the other one they make go there for killing her two children, She had a reason to leave Dominica and run go because she know if she stayed Dominicans would make her life a living hell. God have her punishment for her, don’t worry come it coming.

    For a man she burning a child? I would burn her right back. Many cases of abuse of that nature stem from woman have issues with their man. The man leave them, or have another woman they take it out on their children

    OMG….send her to Dominica and the DPP will let her go free like the other one that killed her two children and is now living happily in north America.

    It is just post-postpartum depression.

        who say she having fun in the sun? That woman can never live a normal life again, her concience must be at war with her every second there is in a clock, what she is potraying on the outside is just a shell, that is the best she can do, to live a normal life, the spirits of those two lovely kids, must be haunting her every day of her life, she must be hearing in her ears every single night, “Mummy Why”? so a good night sleep is just not for her.

    I would put her in a boiling pot of water everyday for the rest of her life for her to be reminded and feel some of what she’s put that poor child through. God these stories of these so-called mentally whatever people is really irritating.

      There is a word called forgiveness. If Christ had to think of all what we would do, don’t you think he would have said not me i am not dying for those ungrateful people. Yes i agree to punish her but what you are asking for just tells me what type of person you are. write the our father and try to understand what you say when you pray the our father. (Forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us)
