Daughter burnt for failing matric

Johannesburg - An Eastern Cape woman who burnt her daughter with hot water after disappointing matric results has been arrested, say Port Elizabeth police.

Captain Verna Brink said the woman was in police custody and due to appear in Gelvandale Magistrate's Court on Monday.

The mother had checked her 16-year-old daughter's matric results in the local newspaper on Friday and found that the girl had failed.

When the daughter finally arrived at home after having disappeared with her "sugar-daddy" for some days, the woman snapped and threw hot water at her.

Brink said the girl sustained minor burns and was discharged from hospital.
