Angela Hassan, formerly Deeney, was found guilty of three charges following a trial at Hamilton Sheriff Court on October 15. The 78-year-old, from Motherwell, targeted the victims between 1971 and 1990 after they were placed in her care.
A Lanarkshire foster carer who subjected vulnerable children to a sickening 20 year campaign of abuse has been sentenced.
One of Hassan’s victims had spent time at the institution before going to stay with the foster carer at her then-home in Wishaw. Hassan used cruel and unnatural treatment towards the girl, which included striking her head against a wall and repeatedly punching her on the head and body. On various occasions, she held the child down and forced food into his mouth as well as humiliating him after he wet the bed. Hassan’s third victim was also physically abused and humiliated, with the carer telling her she did not need sanitary products.
Les Brown, Procurator Fiscal for South Strathclyde, said: “Angela Hassan exploited her position of trust to abuse vulnerable young people, who should have been safe in her care. Instead, she inflicted unimaginable trauma through her violent and cruel offending over a significant number of years.
