A British mother who hid her sick baby in a drawer under her bed for the first three years of her life has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison for what authorities described as “extreme neglect.”
“This child has never had a birthday present, a Christmas present or anything to recognize these days. She’s had no interaction with any of her siblings,” Worthington said. “An intelligent little girl who is now perhaps slowly coming to life, from what was almost a living death in that room,” he added.
The woman’s partner finally discovered the child in Feb. 2023, after he had gone back into the house to use the bathroom after the mom left her keys in the door and heard crying. He followed the noise and found the baby girl crying with matted hair and clearly looking malnourished. Horrified, he fled the house and called his own mother, who in turn alerted the mom of the defendant, who then called authorities.
In addition to the untreated cleft lip and palate, the baby girl was suffering from dehydration, malnourishment, a swollen abdomen, a bad diaper rash and weak muscle mass. She also had floppy limbs and swollen feet. The mother later told investigators that she’d been in an abusive relationship with the father of the baby and didn’t want to tell him she was pregnant.
