York mum bit her child and left another outside in the cold
AN “inadequate” York mother has admitted being cruel to three of her children by biting one and making another stand outdoors in the cold and dark.
The 49-year-old will be sentenced on October 17 at York Crown Court. She has been released on bail.
She pleaded guilty to four charges, including biting a child and not getting medical treatment when they needed it, making another stand outdoors in the cold and rain and ill treating a third child.
Glenn Parsons, prosecuting, said: “The Crown’s case is that this is a case of poor parenting by someone trying to do their best for their children, someone inadequate and unable to cope.”
- The woman in this case cannot be named for legal reasons, so the anonymity of the children can be maintained.
