Mother gets detention order for attacking teenage daughter

Both the prosecution and defence agreed on the sentence of 14 days' day reporting order, a type of community-based sentence where the offender has to report to a day reporting centre for monitoring, counselling and rehabilitation programmes.Defence lawyers Josephus Tan and Cory Wong of Invictus Law told the court that their client was emotionally unstable during the offences.
