The prison sentence given to a mother who kept her baby daughter in a drawer under her bed for almost three years and fed her through a syringe was not “unduly lenient”, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
The woman, who cannot be named to protect the identity of her children, concealed the baby’s presence from her siblings by hiding her in the drawer of a divan bed and kept it secret from her then-partner, who often stayed at the family home in Cheshire.
