An angry father rubbed his three-year-old son's face in his own faeces after a toilet accident, a Brisbane court has been told. The 25-year-old labourer, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty in the Brisbane District Court to one count each of common assault and assault causing bodily harm on March 1 this year. Judge Debra Richards sentenced him to three years probation, and ordered him to perform 240 hours community service. Prosecutor Carolyn McAnally told the court the boy, who lived with his family at Ipswich, west of Brisbane, was found by a neighbour wandering down the street, crying and calling for his mother
When she took the smelly boy inside he told her how it was not dirt, but "poo" on his face, because his father had rubbed his mouth and nose in it. When his father came looking for him, the terrified child cowered inside, and refused to go with him. The father again lost his temper when he discovered the neighbour had given the boy soft drink and chips to eat. He had been looking after his son for the day, because he had been sent home from his daycare centre, and his mother was on a course, the court heard. In an interview with police, the man said the boy had excreted on the floor and he had told him to clean it up. He then walked away because he had a weak stomach, and couldn't stand the smell. When he returned he became angry because the boy was playing with the faeces. He pushed the boy's face in them and then lifted him up by the neck and threw him into the backyard, from where he eventually wandered off. Judge Richards admonished the man and told him he obviously needed to complete a parenting program. "I am speechless to think a parent could do this to a child," she said. "And you don't tell a three-year-old to clean it up; I don't care if you've got a weak stomach." She said he would be required to complete a parenting program, an anger management course, a cognitive skills program and have a psychiatric assessment as part of the probation order. The man has since left the family home to live in Capalaba in Brisbane and has had no further contact with the boy.
