Mother jailed in death of baby she drunkenly fell asleep on

A woman in Wales has been arrested and jailed in the 2017 death of her four-week-old baby, who she’d accidentally fallen asleep on after a night of drinking.

“It is a mother’s responsibility, a mother’s duty, and her natural instinct to put the care and safety of her four-week old child above all else,” Judge Paul Thomas told the mother, Marina Tilby, 26, the Mirror reported.

“You completely ignored that duty so you could get extremely drunk on a night-out.”

Tilby had taken baby Darian out for a night of drinking with her sister, the report said.

Authorities said she had been seen repeatedly throwing the baby into the air and catching him during the night out. She, the baby, and her sister then spent the night at the trailer park home of two men they’d met while drinking.

The baby was later found unresponsive in the bed.
