Paul Stirling admitted exposing tot to cocaine in home which cops found in 'horrendous' state and filled with rubbish
A baby ingested cocaine in a Scot couple’s home where traces of the drug were found in plastic milk bottles.
Baby bottles in the council home in Livingston, West Lothian, were analysed and found to contain traces of cocaine. Stirling and Kerr pled guilty to wilfully ill-treating, and neglecting three children, who had been in their home, by allowing it to become untidy, dirty and strewn with waste material. Fiscal depute Alan Wickham told the court the home had been found in an “abject condition” and was a “horrendous environment” for youngsters to be exposed to.
Mr Wickham said Stirling told the operator he’d cleared the child's airway with his hand and the youngster had “returned to normal”. Police later visited the home in November 2019 and officers found it “extremely cluttered with little floor space to walk on”.
