## Resource

A father in South Africa’s North West was sentenced to 22 years for trying to kill his 10-month-old son and brutally assaulting his 69-year-old grandmother with a stick—breaking both her arms. The attack erupted during a violent argument with the child’s mother, when he threw the baby to the ground. Though the infant survived without fractures, the act was deemed life-threatening. Police arrested him two days later. Despite denying guilt, prosecutors presented overwhelming evidence. The conviction, hailed by police as a landmark victory against violence, sends a chilling message: crimes against children and elders will face the full force of the law.
