Mum Faces Jail For Leaving Kids In Squalid Pit
Mum faces jail for leaving kids in squalid pit (LOL at the Magistrates Name!) A MUM who left two young children at home alone surrounded by human excrement and rubbish is facing jail. Emily Harbour, 22, even told the four-year-old boy that he was 'old enough to look after himself'. But when police broke in and asked if he could, he 'shook his head' and hid under a dirty duvet. Officers also found a baby in a cot with a soiled cloth over its face, who they thought was dead. They gagged as they clawed their way through waste, urine, blood, faeces and a rag that a cat had given birth on at the *property in Newbury, Berks, in July last year. Harbour appeared before Newbury JPs yesterday and admitted wilful neglect and abandonment. Adjourning sentencing until July 28, magistrate Michael Jackson said: 'This is a shocking case.' The children are being cared for by a relative. |
