A MAN who injured his two-month-old daughter and her mother during a domestic dispute in Fox Hill has been ordered to attend counselling or face two years in prison.
The 27-year-old, whose name is being withheld to protect the child’s identity, pleaded guilty earlier this month to causing harm, cruelty to children and threats of death before Deputy Chief Magistrate Shaka Serville.
He injured the infant and her mother during an altercation on Brice Street on October 12, and threatened to kill the woman.
Magistrate Serville reprimanded him for his violent behaviour, saying it had endangered the baby’s life.
He was granted a conditional discharge and ordered to be of good behaviour for two years, during which he must attend counselling at the Community Counselling and Assessment Centre. If he fails to comply, he will serve two years in prison.
He had spent one night on remand at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services before he was sentenced.
Inspector Cordero Farrington prosecuted.
