A mother's neglect of her children for nearly two years left one hospitalised for a host of issues, including head lice infestation "on every centimetre" of her hair, and another losing 30 per cent of his weight in six months as both victims begged neighbours and school for food.
The woman, who is not named to protect the identities of the children, pleaded guilty to two counts of child neglect and fronted the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday for sentencing.
The statement of facts reads that the neglect began in early 2018 when the children had no clothing or suitcases to take with them on a school camp.
