An evil mother who left her baby to die at home when she went for a car wash later sold her dead child’s clothes on Facebook, it has emerged. Stacey Davis, 35, left one-year-old Ethan Davis in his cot for two hours in 27C with a fractured skull - and went shopping.
Last week she was jailed at Salisbury Crown Court having previously admitted a charge of child cruelty. It has now emerged that following Ethan’s death in 2018 the shamed mother listed his possessions and clothes for sale on Facebook.
She sold a ‘Little Man’s Savings’ money box for just £5 – something most bereaved parents would treasure. Davis also flogged a bundle of baby clothes aged 3-6 months, tiny baby clothing and two all-in-one sleepsuits – including one that was Ted Baker-branded.
Salisbury Crown Court heard how Davis, of Melksham, Wiltshire., left her baby abandoned at home alone - trapped in a warm room with no windows open. Davis - who regularly smoked cannabis around her son - returned to the property and then began texting a friend.
She failed to check on him for at least another 30 minutes, before discovering him lifeless in his cot and rushing him to hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. A post-mortem examination found a significant head injury - a 15cm skull fracture - but Ethan's cause of death remains unascertained
