Couple jailed for neglecting two-year-old who died of malnutrition

Margaret Wade and Marie Sweeney kept the child in their filthy flat

The parents of a two-year-old girl who died of malnutrition have each been jailed for six years and four months.

Lauren Wade was emaciated, dirty and riddled with head lice when she died in March 2015.

Margaret Wade, 38, and Marie Sweeney, 37, had admitted the wilful ill-treatment and neglect of Lauren between June 2014 and March 2015.

They also pled guilty last month to a similar charge in connection with two older children between 2007 and 2015.

The judge, Lady Stacey, said the women had failed in their duties to the children.

She added: "When your daughter died, your house was in a shocking state.


The court heard Lauren Wade was "emaciated" for days before she died

"I don't think you need me to point out, but you had been offered advice, it was not taken."

The chairman of Glasgow's Child Protection Committee, Colin Anderson, called the case "an appalling tragedy".

He said the cruelty and deceit of the women had helped them avoid what they perceived as interference from outside agencies.

The High Court in Glasgow had heard that the couple, of Townhead, Glasgow, did not keep the children clean, provide proper food, clothes or medical care.

Lauren was said to be "plainly unwell" and "emaciated" for days before she died.

Wade insisted her "pale and tired" daughter had a cold.


Margaret Wade and Marie Sweeney both considered themselves Lauren's mother

On 20 March 2015, a 999 call was made after Lauren was found to be "unresponsive" at the family's flat in Sighthill, Glasgow.

The child was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later.

Lauren was described as "skinny, dirty and unkempt" at the time. She also had a sodden nappy, bald patches and "thousands" of head lice.

Wade and Sweeney - a couple for 15 years - both regarded themselves as parents to Lauren.

They moved to a flat in the city's Fountainwell Drive in 2011. A detective later branded the home "one of the most disgusting" he had seen in his career.

Mental health

Wade's QC Brian McConnachie said her mental health issues were "partially responsible" for the crimes.

Lady Stacey went on to point out that advice in helping care for the children had been offered in 2007 then again in 2014, but was not taken.

Mr McConnachie replied: "She fully accepts that. Such was her internal difficulties, she did not find it easy to accept outside help.

"She deeply regrets that."

Sweeney's QC Ian Duguid said she had not been "trying to hide" what was a "very sick or malnourished child".

He added: "She accepts that she has let down the children badly - one with very catastrophic consequences."

Sentenced by the Scottish courts to just six years in jail... but they'll probably be released in half that time on parole.

The social services have also failed to protect that poor little girl.

Such an injustice.

In their thirties, they have aged badly.

I think I have said all I needed to say before when it comes to my sentiments towards adoption by same-sex couples. These people (homosexuality is a mental illness) are mentally ill and should never have been allowed to adopt and social services, who is always very quick to target normal white families, probably deliberately looked the other way, the way they looked the other way in Rotherham (et cetera) because the perpetrators are members of privileged groups..

They both have vaginas and are fully capable of producing children naturally so is lesbianism the issue here or that they are just not good people?

Both. And they are clearly mentally ill.

If two heterosexual men had done this they would have gotten life.

In this case, clearly both but let us be real here. There are plenty of women who have borne children, who are lesbians and are not radical. They raise them as well as they can and are "normal". Then there is the other side of the coin.

Even if homosexual, the jail time would have been significantly different. All men are lumped together.

Lesbianism (like homosexuality) is, in itself, radical as it is a rejection of the natural order.

Maybe but it has been part of humanity since day one. Lesbians have given birth and raised children all throughout time.

What they are or at least seem to be, are the product of the current environment.
