Good evening. A Gloucestershire couple who | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
admitted neglecting their children and bringing them up | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
in dirty, squalid conditions were due to be sentenced today. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
But the court case was postponed after the pair ` | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
who can't be named for legal reasons ` had to be taken to hospit`l. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Here's our Gloucestershire reporter Steve Knibbs. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
This has been a case that has shocked all involved.Thd | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
couple cared for nine children, all of them the mother's, | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
but her husband had only fathered the three youngest ones. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
matresses were soiled, bedrooms smelt of urine and animal f`eces. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
The children were reported `s being often dirty and smelly and suffered | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
badly with head lice infest`tions, which the mother told policd she'd | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
treated with mayonnaise. Despite health | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
and social agencies attempthng to intervene, it was only after | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
the youngest child was admitted to hospital with severe nappy rash | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
which had left ulcers on thd skin, that police arrested the cotple | :00:56. | :01:13. | |
We can't identify them as wd have a legal duty to protect the children's | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
identity but at a previous hearing, I asked the father why he'd treated | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
his children so badly. We did let our children down. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
We never stopped loving our children but we did let them down, | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
not in an neglectful way but in a way of development and growhng up. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Did you believe at the time when your children with you that | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
they were being treated properly and being brought up in a clean | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
and loving home? I did, yes but I suppose yot could | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
say that was blinkered opinhon, so I did, yeah, but looking back, | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
now I can see, no. Yesterday the couple were hdre | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
and expected to be jailed but legal argument delayed that | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
until his morning. They never arrived | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
and the court was told they'd taken an overdose and were in hospital. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
The judge said, "I have no hdea whether this is attention`sdeking, | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
sympathy`seeking or whether this was a genuine attempt to take | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
their lives but I have to work on the basis that this was a gdnuine | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
attempt to take their lives." A psychiatric team are now working | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
with the couple to ensure no harm comes to them between now and | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
