A mother ended up in court for allowing her two children to live in a mould-ridden house that was cluttered, unhygienic and infested with rats.

The 49-year-old, who cannot be identified, admitted neglecting her children and causing them unnecessary suffering and injury to health at an address in Bonnybridge on December 8 last year.

Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Thursday, the first offender was said to have “mental health difficulties”.

Sheriff Christopher Shead placed her on a structured deferred sentence for six months until April 4, 2024.
