Police were shocked at 'horrendous' state of West Lothian home where Paul Stirling and Ashley Jane Kerr lived.
A couple have avoided jail after a baby ingested cocaine in their home where traces of the drug were found in plastic milk bottles.
The traces were “particularly high in the hair, indicating his repeated exposure to cocaine”, Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard.Advocate Lorenzo Alonzi, acting for Stirling, said his client had a cocaine addiction which was “out of control” at the time of the offences. Advocate Iain Smith, acting for Kerr, said his client admitted a charge about the “poor state” of the home, not exposing youngsters to cocaine.
Fiscal depute Alan Wickham told the previous hearing how 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”.
