‘Hot-iron Mom’ released on $30,000 bail

Nov 05, 2011 News

The Sophia woman who allegedly burnt the penis and buttocks of her six year-old son was yesterday placed on $30,000 bail after she made an initial court appearance at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court
The woman was represented by Peter Hugh and is set to return to court on December 9.
The boys have been medically examined and found to have sustained second degree burns.
The examination did not reveal any sexual molestation or anal trauma.
The two burnt Sophia lads, aged six and five, are still in the custody of the Childcare and Protection Agency.
The older boy’s mother allegedly used an electric iron to burn him severely on his buttock and on his penis.
The younger boy was also burned. Contrary to earlier reports the police are in receipt of an eyewitness account that the second boy’s father burnt him with the same electric iron.
The man is still at large but the woman reportedly admitted to police ranks at the Turkeyen Police Station that she did indeed burn her son.
The crime committed by the boys causing the treatment to be meted out was “wotlessness.”
This publication understands that the woman reportedly caught the two lads experimenting in what some deem to be an unnatural act. She did not condone the experimentation.
The woman upon catching the young boys apparently plugged in an electric iron and when it was hot enough repeatedly burnt the young boys on their rear and the older boy on his penis.
Both of the lads underwent further medical examination that revealed that none of them had been sexually molested.
The boys are reportedly alleging that the ‘wotlessness’ was learnt from an older cousin but this is yet to be ascertained.
