A mum has been jailed after she left her baby to die at home in 27C heat with a fractured skull.
Stacey Davis, 35, left one-year-old Ethan Davis in his cot for two hours while she ran errands and visited a park. The child was abandoned at home alone while trapped in a warm room that featured no open windows or running fans.
Davis, who reportedly smoked cannabis on a regular basis while in the presence of her son, returned to the property on June 27, 2018, and began to text her friend, failing to check on the baby for at least another 30 minutes, the court heard. When she went into his home, she found him lifeless and unresponsive in his cot.
