A 31-year-old woman, Vivian Anto, has been arrested for allegedly severing her nine-year-old daughter’s toe as a punishment for returning home late.
The suspect is alleged to have used a pair of scissors to amputate the girl’s right second toe (index toe).
Following the incident, the victim was taken to the Kofikrom SDA Hospital in the Juaboso District of the Western North Region, where she is currently receiving medical treatment.
Upon receiving a report of the assault, police officers visited the hospital to assess the situation. They confirmed the presence of a young girl with a freshly bandaged right foot. A preliminary medical examination corroborated that her toe had been severed using a sharp implement.
During initial questioning by the authorities, the victim identified her mother as the individual responsible for the injury.
Vivian Anto remains in police custody. She is currently assisting officers with their ongoing investigations into the matter.
