A three-year-old boy is believed to have got lead poisoning from his garden. And his mum is now desperate for the family to move out of the council flat as she feels the property is 'toxic' for her child.
Mum-of-two Layla Carter is trying to get the city council to re-house them, but she claims her request has been refused because some work has been done to the property to try and fix this. But she feels more tests need to be done as her son Vinnie's lead levels kept going up until he started staying elsewhere.
Ms Carter said that Vinnie has Pica, an eating disorder which causes him to eat things that are not typically thought of as food such as mud, sand or walls. He is also has additional needs and is being assessed for autism.
