A woman has received a sentence involving a minimum of six years in custody following a conviction for the attempted murder of a toddler. The court found that the defendant repeatedly administered adult medication to the child, endangering her life. In addition to the prison term, the judge issued an order for lifelong restriction, a measure used in the Scottish legal system to ensure public safety when an offender is deemed to pose a significant risk of serious harm.

The case drew attention due to the defendant's conduct during the trial process. Reports indicate that the woman posted content to the social media platform TikTok while the legal proceedings were ongoing. This behavior was highlighted during sentencing as part of the court's assessment of her character and lack of remorse. The sentencing judge emphasized the severity of the crime, noting the vulnerability of the victim and the calculated nature of the administration of the medication. The defendant will remain subject to supervision for the remainder of her life, even after the minimum six-year term is served, to manage the ongoing risk she is assessed to pose to the public.
