Fort Augustus woman used electric dog collar on toddler

A woman who gave a young boy electric shocks using a dog training collar has been told she faces jail.

Former soldier Lanna Monaghan also subjected the child to cold showers, bit and kicked him - and hit him so hard with a wooden spoon that it broke.

Monaghan, formerly of Fort Augustus, told police she had a temper and could "zone out" and be "out of control".
