Couple forces daughter to sleep in cold, dark shipping container
(NEWS.COM.AU) — A West Australian couple who beat their adopted daughter and forced her to sleep in a cold, dark shipping container have both been jailed for four years.
The pair, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the child, adopted her aged nine from the Philippines, where she had already suffered trauma at the hands of her birth parents and at an orphanage.
The District Court of WA heard the latest abuse occurred when the girl was aged 10 to 12 at the couple’s semirural property on Perth’s outskirts, where she was neglected and suffered physical and emotional abuse.
