Story here. Excerpt:

"A mother was facing jail last night for leaving her toddler son alone in a flooded kitchen while she spent a weekend partying.

Kelly Tollerton, 22, was warned that prison was 'almost inevitable' after a judge heard how she left the two-year-old boy, caged in the kitchen by a baby gate, to fend for himself.

He had been forced to sift through bags of rubbish for food 'like a dog'."

Hey, this poor and struggling "single mom" is coping with a hostile patriarchal society the best she can. Her regular need for alcohol/drug intoxication and shacking up is her way of calling a much deserved temporary time out in her lonely hard struggle of raising a toddler on her own.

A few months (10 at most) in custody taking parenting classes and she gets the kid again along with the welfare benefits.

The pictures of the filthy kitchen he was imprisoned in re-defines the word cruel.
