I would probably get stoned / killed / stabbed by my lecturers, but:

Yup, you are right. Wikipedia says so: en.wikipedia.org

or perhaps

the judge on the bench could relate to the offenders situation!

877893 2010-04-19 22:08:00 This is unbelievable. The child should be taken off him and he should be fined tens of thousands or put in jail for a month.

Remembering of course that this is a fines only offence carrying a maximuim penalty of $2000 and therefore he cannot be sentenced to imprisonment.

Can't sentence more than the law prescribed maximum.

Add to that the fact his photo (and video), name and circumstances have been plastered all over the news for a week or so. That is a penalty in itself and would have been taken into consideration.

I wonder if it would have gathered the same amount of attention if he had pulled up outside his dear old Grandmas house and was delayed helping her into her wheelchair and getting her things together before he took her out to do her grocery shopping.

The mother was back in Palmerston North.

"Defence counsel John Tannerhill said Schwamm had gone to the Splash Club to pick up a friend who worked there so they could discuss a domestic matter with the boy's mother."

877899 2010-04-20 12:08:00 I think the child is in welfare care.

He's with the guy's mum as mentioned by the news yesterday.
