Morley mum admits cruelty to teen child who later died from medical condition on Christmas Day
Date for sentencing is yet to be fixed
A mum has admitted charges of child cruelty towards her daughter who later died on Christmas Day.
Mandy Walton appeared at Leeds Crown Court this morning where she admitted the offences that span five years between 2017 and 2022.
West Yorkshire Police said it related to 16-year-old Holly Walton who sadly died from a medical condition on December 25, 2022.
A provisional trial date had been set for late November, which has now been shelved.
A pre-sentence report into 55-year-old Walton has been ordered due to other tragedies in her life.
A sentence date is yet to be agreed because a High Court judge is required to preside over the case.
The 55-year-old, of Asquith Drive, Morley, was bailed.
