A mother who allowed her four-year-old son to starve to death and left his decomposing body in a cot for nearly two years has been jailed for 15 years.
Alcoholic mother-of-eight Amanda Hutton was convicted of the manslaughter of Hamzah Khan, who died in December 2009 due to severe malnutrition.
His mummified remains were found in squalid conditions at their Bradford family home 21 months later.
The judge said Hutton posed a "real danger" to children.
'Wicked conduct'
Roger Thomas, the Recorder of Bradford, said she had shown a "terrible failure to fulfil the most basic responsibility; in short you starved Hamzah to death".
On keeping Hamzah's death a secret, the judge said Hutton was "worried that people would find out you killed him".
He told her: "Your deviousness was to keep various agencies away from you and your children.
"Your wicked conduct has been displayed in such awful detail."
Hutton had previously admitted the neglect of Hamzah's five siblings, who also lived at the house and were aged between five and 13 in 2011, and preventing the burial of Hamzah's body.
Hutton's eldest son, Tariq Khan, 24, also admitted preventing Hamzah's burial and received a two-year jail sentence, suspended for two years.
