Woman who made child eat her own vomit off floor has jail term quadrupled

A mum whose years-long campaign of cruelty against a child saw her force her to eat her own vomit has had her jail term more than quadrupled by senior judges at the Court of Appeal.

Lorna Dennington, 47, admitted injuring three children in her care, in one case, making a teen who was around 15 or 16, pick up their dinner they had thrown up and eat it.

Over her campaign of abuse she also slapped a child, punched one child on the nose and hit another in the head with a cupboard door.
