what a judge has described as "gross negligence",

on the part of his mother. Kerry Abel has been sent to prison

for three years after being found Two`year`old Riley Lewis was found

dead, lying face down in his bath, Today, the judge at Sheffield

Crown Court told Kerry Abel that Two`year`old Riley Lewis didd

because of his mother's drug addiction. Last January, he drowned

in the bath. His mother, 38 Gerald Kerry Abel, had fallen asleep after

taking a cocktail of drugs, something she then lied abott to

police. The issue has been honestly about her drug usage and thd

police. The issue has been honestly about her drug usage and the drugs

that she had taken in the d`ys and that she had taken in the d`ys and

hours before Riley died. Kerry wasn't honest with the police from

the outset about that usage. In court, a bill had claimed she felt

dizzy and fainted. Two hours later, he was face down in the bath. The

judge said it was far more likely, she had fallen asleep. Nine

different illegal and illichtly different illegal and illicitly

obtained drugs were found in her system, including heroin, cocaine,

methadone, and sedatives like diazepam. All of these cause

drowsiness. Taken together, the effect would be increased for stop

something, experts say, would explain why she fell asleep.

Sentencing Kerry Abel to three years in prison, the judge said, he died

as a result of your negligence, he was in your care, you trustdd you,

you let him down. The court heard that previously Kerry Abel had been

a good mother. In a statement, the Hull safeguarding board said, due to

the tragic circumstances, the whole safeguarding children's board is

It's the town with 59 off`licences and now Boston's MP is

calling on the Council to stop their rapid growth.

Mark Simmonds says, drinking alcohol is adding to the

but Boston Borough Council says it's very difficult to intervene.

Simon Spark has spent the d`y in Boston.

Hello sir, is that alcohol? You are going to have to move on. Wd are out

in Boston with the inspector. He is all too aware with how Boston is

dealing with an increasing problems because of drinking on the streets.

But is this problem linked to an increasing amount of off`licences

giving increasing access to alcohol? Where there has been an increasing

off`licences, there has been a increase in street related calls.

Whether that is the rich correlation, we cannot say. In the

last six years, the number of off`licences has increased by two

thirds, from 35 to 59. Police figures show crime linked to daytime

drinking is highly in Boston than anywhere else in Lincolnshire. In a

recent public consultation, 97% said the borough council should hntroduce

the borough council should introduce a total ban on street drinkhng.

a total ban on street drinking. Off`licence owner say this hs a big

problem in the town. As far as stopping off`licences appearing I'm

not sure, that is down to the council to re`evaluate the criteria

and talk to the police. Boston MP, Mark Simmonds, believes the council

could do more. He has had a meeting with the crime prevention officer at

the home Home Office. I think there is a misunderstanding. I agree with

the minister and the Lincolnshire police and crime commission, and we

agreed that home of the death # Home Office officials would meet

with local officials and to make sure that they could be in force.

Boston Borough Council were not available to be interviewed, but

they did tell us, they were aware of the powers they have. They say the

licensing committee has to follow procedure and legislation. There is

strict criteria for refusing an application. They will introduce a

total on street drinking ban which could be in force this year or next.

Is enough being done to stop drinking and subsequent anth`social

behaviour? Should the counchl be doing more? News coming in, a flight

How important are this weekend's games?

Both sides must improve and start winning if they are to make the end

better things. Attention to detail. I will make sure we are really

Auld enemy. Lately, he has had little to smile about. A defeat

proved to be his last match in charge. He was sacked last night, a

surprise for many fans. I was surprise for many fans. I w`s

shocked. I think he has done a shocked. I think he has dond a

reasonably good job. He is not giving it 100% has he? Everxone who

giving it 100% has he? Everyone who came in today said, it is b`ng out

of order. He finished 10th in 2012, and scraped into the play`offs in

eighth place last year. So far, his side have only won seven out of

their 19 matches. The results have not been good enough. They have been

competitive, but the games have been tight and they didn't have

victories. The Robins are currently ninth in the table ball, just ahead

of Howell `` Hull FC. The Robins have only had two coaches. Now

assistant coach, Craig Chester, will take charge for the rest of the

season. Some fans hope the former player will get the job full`time.
