Hide AdMitchell, of Selkirk, pleaded guilty at Falkirk Sheriff Court last year to behaving in a threatening and abusive manner towards the little girl, who for legal reasons cannot be identified.
She blamed the incident on “being under stress” at the time.
Sentence had been deferred until today for Mitchell to show she could be of good behaviour and to prove it had been a one-off incident due to stress.
Sheriff Linda Smith was told she had not come to the attention of the police since the incident, and ordered her to be simply admonished.
