A German court sentences a woman to five years in prison for keeping her young daughter confined at home for about seven years, according to multiple reports. The daughter is reportedly held in the grandparents’ home, where the mother allegedly kept the child locked up rather than allowing normal access to education and care. Prosecutors and the court find the mother guilty of kidnapping, abduction of a minor, and mistreatment of a vulnerable person. In addition to the custodial sentence for the mother, the court also issues suspended sentences to other involved family members. The reports state that the grandmother receives a two-year suspended sentence on the same charges, and that the grandfather is also given a suspended sentence. The court spokeswoman is cited as describing the charges and the outcomes. The sentencing takes place on Monday, with the case centered on allegations of long-term confinement and harm to a child.
