A debt-ridden woman who drowned her 11-year-old son has been detained indefinitely.

James Taylor's body was found at the home he shared with his mother in New Ash Green, near Dartford, Kent, on 2 December last year.

Jennifer Taylor, 45, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Maidstone Crown Court heard she had debts of nearly £290,000 and wanted her son to "be in a better place".


Had she never heard of bankruptcy?

What a terrible thing to do.

The power of money and debt.

Debt is the best system since the Enlightenment to get the little people out of bed in the morning and out working. If only she realised that is the only purpose of money then perhaps her poor son might still be with us.

Playstation generation.

Grown man would have struggled when we were kids, was equipped to squirm out of any grip like an oiled snake and run like daly thomson on fire. Kept us out of trouble, especially when we threw eggs through peoples sunroof.
