A mum told the father of her son to 'watch what happens' in a tirade of messages threatening to harm her four-year-old child. Natalie Kelly was struggling after breaking up with Paul Bowden while pregnant with her second child, Minshull Street Crown Court heard on Tuesday (July 26).
The court heard that the 27-year-old, from Harpurhey, had been shouting at her former partner and 'making a scene' on April 27. But it was a series of abusive and threatening messages which she sent to Mr Bowden which struck fear in the father.
Among a string of messages designed to 'provoke a reaction' from her ex, Kelly wrote 'answer me or your son won't be here' and warned him to 'watch what happens'. Prosecuting, Kate Gaskell told the court: "The majority of messages revolved around their son and what she would do to their son."
