Sandra Harper, aged 63, was on trial at Peterhead Sheriff Court accused of a prolonged history of child abuse spanning two decades.
The charge involved horrifying acts including forcing a young girl to eat vomit and rubbing a boy's face in urine-soaked bedding.
Harper, who admitted to shouting, swearing, and using derogatory language toward the children in her care, described her actions as ‘reprimanding them and sometimes joking,’ comparing it to saying ‘God bless you.’ She also acknowledged that she told children ‘if you swear, you’ll get your mouth washed out with soap.’ The abuse struck a nerve with the victims’ family, who branded her a “horrible” foster mother and a “vile monster.” Her actions have shocked the community and led to her being brought to justice, where she pled guilty to the charges of child cruelty and neglect.
