Mum who left baby with skull fracture at home to die while she went shopping jailed

A mum has been jailed after her baby died when she left him alone with a broken skull in 27C heat to go shopping. Stacey Davis, 35, left one-year-old Ethan Davis in his cot for two hours while she shopped, got her car washed and visited a park.

While she was out, Ethan was trapped alone in a warm room with no windows open and no fan. When Ms Davis arrived home, she did not go to check on him for at least 30 minutes, instead texting a friend.

Ms Davis, of Melksham, Wiltshire, then went into his room and discovered him lifeless and unresponsive in his cot. He was rushed to hospital on June 27, 2018 and was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
