A new sentencing date has been set for the parents of little Hunter White after they pleaded guilty to cruelty to him. Hunter died due to a lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain.
The tragic 18-day-old tot passed away as a result of what is called "positional asphyxia" when he was in the care of his father, Adam White. White, 45, of Foxhill Road East, Carlton, "fell asleep under the influence of something" and Hunter, facedown, died.
Mum Terri Walters, 32, of Kingsway Gardens, Hucknall, was in the house at the time and had also been taking drugs and went to bed, leaving the baby with his dad when "not safe to do," Judge Gregory Dickinson QC, the Recorder of Nottingham, had previously said.
