Couple took baby on drink session

The couple were drinking at a Mansfield pub
A couple who took their baby son on a seven-hour drinking session have been given a two-year community order.

Mark and Petra Tyler, 46 and 24, of Reindeer Street, Mansfield, were arrested in September after being refused entry to a pub.

The couple, who appeared at Mansfield Magistrates' Court, pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to being drunk in charge of the four-month-old boy.

They were told if they reoffended they could expect to go to prison.

The couple were also ordered to pay £60 costs.

'Filthy bottle'

The earlier hearing was told the couple had planned to have a couple of drinks but "one thing led to another".

A landlord alerted CCTV operators who then called police when they saw the boy's buggy tipping from side to side.

The child was described by police as hungry and had a filthy bottle filled with sour milk in his pushchair.

Chairman of the bench, Paul Richardson, told the defendants: "In this case we would have sent both of you to prison for what we feel is an extremely serious offence, where a young child was placed in danger.

"We accept, however, that the effect of that sentence would be to punish you for a very short time that would have no long-term benefit in terms of stopping your offending."

Mr Richardson warned them they could "realistically expect" a custodial sentence if they breached it or committed further offences.

Read about this some time back. Have personally witnessed and read similar stories before with more horrifying outcomes.

I will just say, its a very sad day when the parents needs for alcohol (and gambling as I have also seen) comes before the needs and love of the child.
A very sad day indeed.

HAHAHAHAH:D , another good read would be by that Matthews bitch who had her own daughter kidnapped, she's probably too thick to write though.

I imagine this goes on quite a bit. I hate seeing kids in pubs. I wouldnt even drink at my son's christening. Hardly parent of the year but my kids come first at least. I wait til they are in bed to have a drink and my OH doesnt drink so one of us is responsible.

In fact a few weeks ago in the middle of the day, approx 2pm (remember cos i was on way to collect my son from school) i was driving by the new hotel in B'mun and sat in the hotel bar (glass windows) was a girl with a new born in one hand trying to feed him with one hand and a pint in the other. Sickening tbh.

Growing up in Ballymun i've seen kids sat outside the pub if there was a no kids policy waiting on their parents. Neighbours kids knocking in for bread cos they were starving and parents were in the pub.

I thank god my parents didnt drink.

Well at least they didn't abandon the child to get pished. No they brought the child with them so that others, upon seeing the couple inebriated, could take the relevant action to help the child.

It even seems like pretty responsible parenting when compared to a certain couple who abandoned three children in a foreign country to have dinner and never received any fines or community order.
