Evil mother jailed for child cruelty flogged dead baby’s possessions on Facebook

An evil mother jailed for child cruelty flogged her dead baby’s possessions on Facebook.

Stacey Davis, 35, left her twelve-month-old boy Ethan at home while she got her car washed, went to a shop and sat on a bench – before returning home to find him lifeless.

The youngster was also found to have suffered a 15cm skull fracture – but despite visible injuries and distress, she failed to take him to hospital for assessment or treatment.

Davis was given a two-year custodial sentence at Salisbury Crown Court on Thursday, having previously admitted a charge of child cruelty.

Following Ethan’s death, the shamed mother listed his possessions for sale on Facebook, selling a ‘Little Man’s Savings’ money box for just £5 – something most bereaved parents would treasure.

Davis also flogged a bundle of baby clothes aged 3-6 months, a bundle of tiny baby clothing and two all-in-one sleepsuits – including one that was Ted Baker-branded.
