Man and woman left four children to starve in filthy Glasgow house amid horrific neglect
A man and woman are facing jail for the horrific neglect of four young children. Shane Curran, 47, and Nicola McCall, 44, left the youngsters starving while living in a dirty "dump" of a house piled with rubbish in Glasgow.
Curran and McCall were convicted following a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court. They were both found guilty of wilfully ill-treating and neglecting all four children. In her speech to jurors, fiscal Carrie Stevens said there was a "consistent failure" by Curran and McCall to keep the victims "safe and comfortable" when they were with them.
Regarding meal times, the court heard there was "never any food in the cupboards" with the children "regularly deprived". Describing one incident with McCall, the girl explained: "She rag-dolled me, flung me onto the ground and bashed my head off the door."
