Just as EO was saying we'd heard nothing from Wales for a while.Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostMother guilty over smoking boy, 3
A three-year-old boy lit a cigarette butt and smoked it in front of his mother, Merthyr Crown Court has heard.
The incident was filmed on a mobile and passed to social services by a friend of the boy's mother Kelly Marie Pocock.
The friend earlier spotted him smoking a cigarette and said it looked like he had been "smoking for many years".
The judge said it was an appalling case and Pocock, 24, from Merthyr Vale, was sentenced to 40 weeks suspended for two years after admitting child cruelty.
And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
