Young mum, 24, ends her own life after her child is taken into care

A young mum took her own life after never getting over the heartbreak of her son being placed in care, an inquest heard today.

Lousina Negus - who faced mental health problems for years - died at her home in Cullompton, Devon, on June 14, 2021, at the age of 24.

The carer and college student felt "let down" by social services as she felt promises had not been seen through, said her boyfriend in a statement read out during the hearing at Exeter County Hall.
