A Douglas couple appeared in court this morning denying assaulting their child.
A court order was made prohibiting anything from being published which may identify the child.
It is alleged that the child was made to kneel in a praying position for extreme lengths of time by the father.
The mother is accused of dragging the child around a bedroom and knocking them against a wall.
They both deny the allegations.
A pre-trial review will be held in summary court on June 15.
Bail continues with a condition not to contact the child without supervision.
