A magistrate has raised concerns about the level of domestic violence he has seen so far for the week.
In the run-up to Christmas, the District “A” Magistrates’ Court has dealt with violence against a mother perpetrated by her adult son, another mother who was beaten by her teenaged son, an alleged case of violence on a grandmother done by the boy she had raised for the last 15 years, and other cases.
