A 29-year-old single mother, Mary Adu, is in the grips of Pru East District police for abusing her four-year-old son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was arrested after a neighbour filed a complaint to Social Welfare officials about the inhumane treatment she metes out to her son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr David Duku, who made the report, told Adom News that he witnessed her physically assaulting her son for hours till he was covered in bruises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Social Welfare officials together with the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) team visited the scene and apprehended the suspect for further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The four-year-old victim was rushed to the St. Mathias Hospital at Yeji where he is currently receiving treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Madam Lydia Apam from the Welfare Department told Adom News that the child sustained deep cuts on his face and other parts of his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the level of injuries, doctors said he will be processed for the theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Madam Apam said the case will be taken up and due process followed to protect the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
