Abusive mother is facing jail time

A mother who subjected one of her daughters to horrendous abuse from the day she was born is facing jail

The 49-year-old, from Dundee, also admitted carrying out violent attacks on her second daughter when she was aged from five to 11. They included threatening her with a knife and telling her she was going to “kill her in her sleep”. The woman pleaded guilty to two charges of assault and two of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner. Sheriff Alastair Brown deferred sentence to August.
