Mum left baby to die in cot while she went shopping

A twelve-month-old baby was found dead in his cot after temperatures soared to above 27C, but detectives couldn't prove he died as a result of being left home alone.

Ethan Davis' dad is now calling on the Government to make it illegal to leave a child at home alone. Little Ethan's mum Stacey Davis left the baby at home as she swanned around for more than two hours, getting her car washed and taking another child to the park.

The 35-year-old pleaded guilty to an offence of child cruelty and was jailed for two years at Salisbury Crown Court in December. Now Ethan's family want it to be unlawful for any child under the age of five to be left unsupervised.
