Acted for mother of baby whose sibling died at 12 weeks. Father was acquitted at Old Bailey of his murder, mother was not charged.  Father took no  part in these proceedings the mother only attended after she was arrested and brought to  court by the police although she kept in touch with me usually by text. Serious case as if mother been found in family case to  be responsible for the child’s death criminal charges could have been initiated against her.  In the event the father was found to  have killed the child whilst mother failed to  protect.

She had many difficulties including her mental health and drug addiction; the present child was placed for adoption
