DEREK SEAL BITES BABY IN OLDHAM AND ESCAPES JAIL
| Red Rose Database
Oldham Sexual Abuser
A man named Derek Seal, who was entrusted with babysitting a four-month-old infant in Oldham, was convicted of assault after an incident involving a bite on the child. The case came to light when the mother of the baby noticed a bite mark on her child during or after the babysitting session.
According to reports, Derek Seal admitted to biting the infant, claiming that his intention was to make the baby laugh. This explanation was met with skepticism by the court, which considered the act a form of assault on a vulnerable child.
The court proceedings resulted in Seal being sentenced to a conditional discharge for a period of two years. This means that he will not serve time in prison unless he commits another offense within that period.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety and supervision of children in babysitting arrangements, especially in cases where trust has been placed in individuals who may not have appropriate training or understanding of the boundaries necessary when caring for infants.
Local authorities and child protection agencies continue to emphasize the importance of vigilance and proper vetting of individuals involved in childcare roles to prevent such distressing incidents from occurring in the future.
