'A British mother killed her 12-year-old autistic son by making him drink bleach because she was scared social services would take him away from her, a court has heard.

Satpal Kaur-Singh, 44, forced her son Ajit to drink bleach just hours after social services met with her and warned he could be taken away because of concerns about her parenting skills.
...
But, both the defence and prosecution agreed Kaur-Singh had an abnormality of the mind when she killed her son, and her initial charge was reduced from murder to manslaughter due to diminished responsibility.'
