OMG!! Another case :furious:
AN alcoholic mum whose son died trapped in rubbish in their putrid home developed an elaborate ruse to fool her working husband into believing he was attending school.
In the end the youngest, just five years old, cut his toe and died three days later in 2012.
A cause of death has never been identified, but doctors say it almost certainly was caused by living amongst the rubbish.
Detective Mark Gurthie, who investigated the matter, said in 26 years of policing he’d never seen anything like it.

The boy's mother died in hospital two weeks ago.
During a plea hearing today, the man's lawyer said her client was pulled into a downward spiral by his wife, who had depression and was an alcoholic.
When they were living in squalor, the father was able to maintain his job, on a $160,000 salary.
