Zara Olver, 21, her 48-year-old mother Carole, and sisters Serenza Olver, 29, and Danielle Olver, 19 were all round Zaras place. Her two kids, a boy of 2 and a girl of 3 were in the room. Whereupon the 4 adults present encouraged the children to attack each other. Motivated I suspect by boredom.
Toddler fight.
The girl was made to smack the boy in the face. He cried. They shouted at him to smack her back. The adults were royally entertained. Better than raising fighting dogs, and cheaper. One threw a hair brush into the fight to encourage a participant to use it as a weapon.
The women video taped the amusing and entertaining spectacle. Laughing and shouting encouragement on the video as the fight progressed. 'Hit her in the face you wimp.' Both children appeared extremely traumatised in the video.
The childrens father - a soldier - serving in Iraq, returned home on leave. Saw the vidio and called in social services. Faced with the criminal nature of their behaviour, the women said they saw nothing wrong with 'toughening up' the kids.
The judge sentenced them to 12 Months each for child cruelty -suspended. The children were placed in the care of the Fathers Mother.
Zara, Serenza, Danielle and their mum Carol see nothing wrong with their behavior.
So truth is what you choose to believe. And ignorance is king in the house of Olver.
Did the Judge get that one right I wonder.
Due to public outrage the sentence is under review by the Attorney General.......
