AN EASTERN European mother admitted neglecting and starving her children when she appeared in an Argyll sheriff court.
The woman, living in Argyll, who the Courier cannot identify for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to a charge of neglecting her son and two daughters by leaving them alone, unattended and unsupervised at home when there were also sparse food supplies available. The court heard that on one occasion the young boy was so hungry he went into a neighbour’s garden and asked for food.
The children were also found to have lice and skin diseases.
