The mother who left her baby to die while she went SHOPPING

A cannabis-smoking mother who left her baby at home to die in 27C temperatures with a fractured skull as she went shopping has been jailed, Qazet.az reports.

Stacey Davis, 35, left her one-year-old son Ethan Davis alone in his cot for two hours while she ran a number of errands and visited a park near her home in Melksham, Wiltshire, in June 2018.

Ethan was trapped in a warm room in which all windows were closed and no fans were in use as temperatures soared. He had also suffered a fractured skull, which his mother said was sustained following a fall, though a post-mortem was unable to ascertain a cause of death.

Davis, who regularly smoked cannabis around her son, then failed to check on him for at least half an hour after returning to the property. Instead, she began texting a friend, a court heard.
