Tracy Menhinick, a former auxiliary nurse, has been sentenced to seven years in prison for administering laxatives to a child, causing severe harm and unnecessary suffering. She also consented to unnecessary medical procedures, resulting in permanent disfigurement and impairment.
A FORMER auxiliary nurse convicted of harming a child with laxatives with “devastating” consequences for him has been jailed for seven years.
Sentencing Menhinick, Judge Lady Drummond said it was “beyond understanding” why anybody would want to inflict such severe harm and suffering on a child over a number of years. “You were an auxiliary nurse and knew what you were doing. Even once admitted to hospital you continued to give him dangerous levels of laxatives.
The court heard that during the trial jurors heard evidence that it is likely the boy may not achieve his full growth potential, and is expected to have psychological difficulties.
