A man and woman who carried out horrific neglect of four young children have been jailed for a total of two years. Shane Curran, 47, and Nicola McCall, 44, left the youngsters starving while living in a dirty "dump" of a house piled with rubbish in Glasgow.
One told how she was forced to steal money simply to get something to eat. Jurors heard how the children were exposed to drugs - including amphetamine - being in full view in the house.
Three of the young victims also suffered physical violence including one girl who described being "rag-dolled" by McCall. The pair were both found guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court of wilfully ill-treating and neglecting all four children.
