A woman has been jailed for three years for torturing a toddler over a period of 15 months.
Lanna Monaghan, 34, who is currently pregnant with another child, admitted putting the collar – which delivers electric shocks – on the boy more than once in July 2015 to test how effective it was.
Glasgow’s High Court also heard she forced the child to take icy showers, bit him, kicked him, and repeatedly beat with a wooden spoon, once so hard the implement snapped.
The horrific abuse took place from April 2015 to July 2015 and only ended when a family member reporter Monaghan to the authorities.
“You have pleaded guilty to a catalogue of offences over the period of 15 months involving the physical abuse of a defenceless little boy,” judge Lady Rae told Managhan, who wept throughout her sentencing hearing.
“He did not suffer lasting physical effects, but it is impossible to determine what the emotional impact on this little boy will be in the future.
“This defenceless little boy must have been terrified of you. You should be thankful that you were eventually reported for what you were doing.”
