Evil mum who left baby son to die in 27C heat while she got car cleaned later flogged his belongings on Facebook | The Sun

A HEARTLESS mum who left her baby son to die in 27C with a head injury while she got her car cleaned later flogged his clothes.

Stacey Davis left Ethan Davis, one, trapped in his cot for two hours in a warm room with no windows open or fan.

The callous 35-year-old had gone out to run errands and visit a park as her son lay lifeless in the stifling room for three hours.

It has now emerged that Davis, who was jailed for two years on Friday, later sold her dead son's belongings on Facebook.

The mum flogged a "Little Man's Savings" moneybox for £5 and a bundle of tiny baby clothes for tots aged 3-6 months.

This included jogging bottoms, bodysuits and tops described as being in "excellent condition/like new".

Davis also listed a "tiny baby" bundle with a Ted Baker all-in-one sleepsuit.

Salisbury Crown Court heard how the mum left her son in his cot while she went out to the shops in June 2018.

Even when she got back to the home in Melksham, Wiltshire, the mum failed to check on Ethan for a further 30 minutes.

After eventually discovering him unresponsive in his bed, the tot was rushed to hospital where he was declared dead shortly after.

A post mortem found Ethan had suffered a 15cm skull fracture but his cause of death was unascertained.

Davis told police he had fallen and hit his head but she failed to take him to hospital despite the obvious distress, swelling and bruising.

Forensic investigator Nicola Anderson also detected high levels of cannabis in Ethan's hair, which was consistent with Davis smoking the drug around him.

Defence barrister Mark Ashley claimed Davis was scared to take her son to hospital after he was previously removed from her care due to a suspected broken leg.

He also said she was suffering from post-natal depression after Ethan was born premature so began using cannabis

He was cut off by Judge Parkes QC, who said it was "incredibly stupid" to smoke it inside.

Sentencing, he added: "The sad fact is that you fell very seriously short of the duty owed to Ethan as his mother.

"You failed to seek medical attention for the injury to his head. Any normal parent would put the child's health before anything.

"What is particularly appalling about this episode is that you spent half an hour on the phone, sending and receiving messages [when you arrived home], until you went to check on Ethan.

''You had not seen him, checked on him, for nearly three hours."

Davis was jailed for two years after admitting child cruelty.
