A judge ordered a Swedish mother to pay a fine after she was convicted of encouraging her 3-year-old son to drink beer and giving him cigarettes.
The district court in Malmo convicted the woman Monday of harassment, narcotic crimes and unlawful procurement of alcohol, and ordered her to pay a $756 fine, The Local reported. The fine was reduced because she spent 20 days in jail after the incident was first reported several months ago.
In its ruling, the court said the mother's crimes egregious, considering they were "committed against a small and defenseless child, and occurred in the home of one of the people who should have been responsible for the child's safety."
The woman's children have been living in a foster home since the incident, which happened during a party in June after the mother smokes marijuana.
At the party, the 3-year-old boy was videoed as he was urged to smoke a cigarette his mother had given to him, The Local said.
The court record also indicated the mother didn't protest when other party-goers gave her son a beer. (UPI)
3세아들에 술∙담배 강요한 파티맘 결국..
스웨덴 법원이 자신의 아이에게 맥주를 마시게 하고 담배를 준 혐의로 피해자의 어머니에게 벌금형을 내렸다.
말모의 지방법원은 지난 월요일(현지시각) 마약 범죄와 불법적 음주 조달 혐의로 $756의 벌금을 부과했다.
가해자는 사건이 몇 달 전 보고된 후 20일 동안 수감되어 있었기 때문에 감소된 벌금형을 받게됐다.
판결에서 법원은 이 사건을 지독한 범죄라고 평하며 “아이의 안전에 책임을 져야 할 가정에서 작고 방어할 수 없는 아이에게 범죄가 일어났다.”고 말했다.
지난해 7월 어머니가 파티를 열어 마리화나를 흡연한 후 벌어진 이 사건 후 자녀들은 양부모의 집에서 생활하고 있다.
이 파티에서 3살 난 아들은 어머니가 준 담배를 피우라고 강요 받는 장면이 비디오에 찍혔으며 다른 파티에 참석자들이 아들에게 맥주를 주었을 때 항의하지 않은 부분 또한 재판에서 지적됐다.
