A mum got so drunk she fell asleep near her baby and only woke up when he cried as she knocked a can of cider all over him.
The woman also left the two year old alone for hours at a time to go and drink and smoke cannabis in flats close to her Merseyside home.
The woman, who cannot be named in order to protect the identity of her child, appeared at Liverpool Magistrates’ Courts earlier this week and admitted neglect of a child in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering.
