A 30-year-old mother was granted bail yesterday after being accused of abusing her eight-year-old son last month.
Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville charged the mother, whose name is being withheld to protect the identity of the child, with cruelty to children.
A representative of social services was present during her arraignment.
The accused allegedly physically abused her young son, resulting in injury on January 21 in New Providence.
After pleading not guilty to the charge, the defendant’s bail was set at $8,000 with one or two sureties.
She must return to court for a trial date fixture before Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans on February 12.
