ANDREW Cunningham, who confessed to abusing his mother after she refused to give him food, was fined $20,000 with an alternative of 40 days imprisonment by Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court.

Further, the Court stipulated that Cunningham be subjected to anger management sessions for two months, as suggested by an officer from the Probation and Social Services.
Police Sergeant Godfrey Playter, prosecuting, said the defendant is the son of the virtual complainant, Netty Seenanan, and is in a habit of abusing her.
On November 15, the defendant returned home and after his mother refused to give him food, he became annoyed and used a series of expletives at the woman.
Thereafter, she left home, and reported the matter at Reliance Police Station, where cops instituted charges.
Meanwhile, in response to questions from the Magistrate, the defendant said: “My mother cuss me, and I cuss she out.”
