A mother who let her toddler live in freezing squalor was berated by a sheriff for failing to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said the 20-year-old exposed her son to potentially tragic conditions by "completely neglecting him".
The toddler was found freezing cold, wearing socks soaked through with cat urine in a house strewn with rubbish and cat litter.
