A mother has avoided jail after her two young sons escaped from their home late at night after 'fending for themselves' when their mum left them alone for two hours.
The two young brothers, aged four and six, climbed out of a window in their home and were said to be "distressed" when they knocked on their neighbours door at 12.15am.
The boys used a chair propped up against a wall to climb out the window into the street after their mum Demi Heffernan abandoned them.
