Woman jailed for giving son drugs

A drug addict mother has been jailed for nine years for supplying heroin and crack cocaine to her son from the age of nine.

Emma Kelly, 31, formerly of Eastbourne, in East Sussex, admitted the offences, which could have killed the child.

Kelly was sentenced to nine years in total for supplying her son with class A drugs, including five years to be served concurrently for child cruelty.

This includes two six-year sentences to be served concurrently for supplying him with heroin and crack cocaine, and a consecutive sentence of three years for giving him heroin when he was in foster care.

The court was told Kelly had plied her son with opiates from the age of nine, until he was 11.

There's more information here, including a video of Emma Kelly's flat.
