A mum has been jailed after leaving her baby home alone to die with a fractured skull on a hot day - while she got a car wash and went shopping
.
She appeared at Salisbury Crown Court on Thursday and was jailed for two years for an offence of child cruelty. Davis had admitted the offence at a previous hearing in May 2022. Under questioning, Davis told police that her son had fallen out of a door and hit his head - and despite the swelling, bruising and obvious distress, she failed to take him to hospital.
Defence barrister Mark Ashley said his client's case was a "classic example of post-natal depression". Asking for a suspended prison sentence, he added: "Everybody involved is trying to rebuild their lives, she is trying to rebuild her life.
