TORONTO - A part-time university student was sentenced yesterday to seven years in prison for giving her infant son cocaine over a 14-month period, resulting in permanent brain damage.
The actions of Tamara Broomfield were described as "acutely deplorable" by an Ontario Superior Court judge who indicated that the sentence must reflect "society's abhorrence" toward the conduct.
"As a result of her egregious breach of trust, the consequences to her son are catastrophic," said Justice Tamarin Dunnet. "Ms. Broomfield persisted in a pattern of gross parental abuse over a long period of time against a vulnerable and defenceless child," the judge said.
The court heard that her now seven-year-old son Malique will be subject to a lifetime of seizures, has impulse-control problems and will likely be unemployable as an adult.
