米西索加母親因打死3歲孩子被判入獄10年

“This crime was a betrayal of the most sacred bond of trust and care that should exist between a parent and a child,” the judge said. “The very person to whom a child would look for refuge turned out to be her greatest enemy.”

“這一罪行背叛了母子之間最神聖的關係-信任與關懷。”法官說道，“孩子應該尋求依靠的人卻成了她最大的敵人。”

An Ontario woman convicted in the brutal beating death of her three-year-old daughter was sentenced to 10 years in prison Friday, as the judge presiding over the case called her the child’s “greatest enemy.”

一位安大略女人因將其三歲女兒殘忍打死而於週五背叛入獄10年，負責該案件的法官稱其爲孩子的“最大敵人”。

In delivering her sentence, Superior Court Justice Deena Baltman said the 38-year-old Jha was Niyati’s sole protector but “instead of defending her, she beat her repeatedly, ultimately to death.”

最高法院法官Deena Baltman在宣判其罪行時說，38歲的Jha是Niyati的唯一保護人，然而，“他非但沒有保護她，反而一再毆打她，最終將其致死。”

“This crime was a betrayal of the most sacred bond of trust and care that should exist between a parent and a child,” Baltman said. “The very person to whom a child would look for refuge turned out to be her greatest enemy.”

“這一罪行背叛了母子之間最神聖的關係-信任與關懷。”Baltman說道，“孩子應該尋求依靠的人卻成了她最大的敵人。”

Crown lawyers alleged that Jha beat her daughter over many weeks, culminating in a final fatal attack.

刑事律師稱，Jha連續數週毆打其女兒，最終造成致命一擊。

Court heard that Niyati sustained a massive brain injury in September 2011. She was unconscious when her family took her to a walk-in clinic near her Mississauga, Ont., home and was declared brain dead in a Toronto hospital a day later.

法院聽說，2011年9月，Niyati一直在遭受大面積腦損傷。當她家人把她送到米西索加，安大略的家附近的免預約診所時，她已經不省人事。一天後，多倫多的一家醫院宣告其腦死亡。

“By the time Niyati arrived at the hospital her head had swollen to the size of a football and there was brain matter oozing out of her ear,” Baltman said, noting that in addition to the fatal injuries Niyati suffered, her body was later found to be riddled with dozens of internal and external injuries, that included bruising, hemorrhaging and multiple fractures.

“Niyati被送到醫院時，她的頭已腫脹到足球大小，而且有腦液從耳朵流出，”Baltman說，並注意到，除了致命傷外，Niyati身上還發現多處內外傷，包括挫傷、大出血和多處骨折。

Just why Jha repeatedly abused her child, however, was hard to understand, Baltman said.

然而，很難理解Jha一再虐待孩子的原因，Baltman說。

Jha was not a young, inexperienced mother — she had a child before Niyati was born and two after — nor did Jha allege she was a victim of abuse herself, and there was no evidence at her trial of an addiction or a low intellectual ability, Baltman said.

Jha並非缺乏經驗的年輕母親——在Niyati之前，她生過一個孩子，之後又生過兩個——她也沒有遭受過虐待，也沒有證據表明，她有毒癮或智力低下，Baltman說。

With credit for time already served, Jha now has nine years and two months left in her sentence, after which she could be deported to India as she is not a Canadian citizen.

目前爲止，Jha的服刑期限還有9年兩個月，之後她會被驅逐出境，因爲她不是加拿大公民。
