A mother who bashed her eight-month-old daughter with a kitchen utensil has walked free from court with a good behaviour bond after a judge found the baby's injuries were 'likely to resolve'.
Lorien Norman, 26, pleaded guilty to causing harm with intent after beating her toddler daughter with a slotted spoon.
Although the offence carries a maximum sentence of 13 years, Norman did not spend a day behind bars.
She was instead given a two-year good behaviour bond and ordered to pay $500.
