Story here. Remember this case? Excerpt:

"A mother who left her toddler son imprisoned and alone in a flooded kitchen for three days while she went out 'to party', was today jailed for 18 months.

Kelly Tollerton, a 23-year-old single mother of two, showed no emotion as the judge spoke of her 'deplorable and disgraceful' act in leaving her two-year-old child to scavenge for food in the bin and sleep on a pile of dirty laundry, while she spent the weekend with her boyfriend."
