A further visit to a home where a toddler was found dead was necessary, a probe into her death has heard. Lauren Wade died after she was left to starve to death by mum Margaret Wade, 41, and Marie Sweeney, 40 at her home in Glasgow's Sighthill in March 2015.
A judge heard how the two-year-old went without proper food or care for months and was riddled with thousands of head lice. A "skinny and dirty" Lauren had a sodden nappy, bald patches and thousands of head lice.
A post mortem revealed the toddler had been the victim of “severe neglect”. Wade and Sweeney were jailed in 2019 for six years and four months each after pleading guilty to neglecting the toddler between June 2014 and March 2015.
