Yvonne Adkins had sex for nine hours as her baby died. The mother was allegedly drunk in sex with a stranger as her baby died on a
sofa. she was taking part in a booze-fuelled nine-hour sex romp with lover
Omoleye Babatumde Peter as her three-month-old baby lay on a sofa
downstairs. Adkins, 32, necked whisky before taking her sex
partner, who she had met just one week earlier at a bus stop, upstairs -
leaving baby Shanelle on a sofa with her sisier.
The baby, who
had suffered from reflux and vomiting since birth, was found lifeless
the following morning wearing only a tiny tracksuit and no blanket or
bed clothes. Paramedics were called to property in Meir, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs., who found the baby unresponsive and performed CPR.
The baby was rushed to Royal Stoke University Hospital but despite the efforts of doctors she was pronounced dead at 8.05am. Today
an inquest heard how Adkins - who has six children with four different
men - showed "no emotion" as paramedics battled to save the child's
life.
Sylvia Coleman, from Stoke-on-Trent City
Council, visited the family after concerns were raised about Adkins
allowing her sister with learning difficulties to care for the children.
Adkins
had been called to attend the hearing to give evidence but claimed she
had not been aware it was happening and did not wish to attend a hearing
at a future date.
North Staffordshire Coroner's Court was told
she originally lied to authorities and claimed the child had been
sleeping in a Moses basket at the end of her bed.
The
inquest also heard that in the weeks leading up to her death she had
several "episodes" in which her lips turned blue after drinking milk and
vomiting.
She had been prescribed anti-reflux medication but
this had not alleviated the problem and had been due to see a consultant
the following month.
Earlier this year, Adkins pleaded guilty to cruelty of a child at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court and was given an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
