And The Mother? Isn't She Culpable?

A man has admitted ramming a pair of pants full of human excrement down the throat of a child after the boy 'had an accident'.

Stanley Haywood, of Cirencester, pleaded guilty to assaulting the youngster at Swindon Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

Good god! 

The child was later taken to Great Western Hospital by his mother where he was assessed for his injuries. He was found to have sustained bruising to his cheek and the back of his throat.

Any normal woman would have first made sure this vile waste of oxygen was in no shape to do anything like this again.   

In an interview in custody, he told officers he did not remember most of the incident but he was “disgusted and horrified” at his behaviour.

He was “very stressed” at the time and disclosed that "his father used to do the same to him when he was young", Mr Ballinger added.

At the time of the offence, he was already serving a community order imposed by Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court for possession of a bladed article in a public place.

So...why was the mother shacked up with this thing in the first place? 

He attended court with a psychiatrist, who told the magistrates his service user has a “complex trauma history” and has never received any treatment for his obvious mental health issues.

Christ, love, was he the best you could do? 

Mark Glendenning, defending said: “He is devastated that he has acted in this way and is ashamed of his actions.”

Adding that he is a recovering drug addict who was “desperately struggling” at the time.

It gets better and better, doesn't it? 

Labelling the vile attack as “very humiliating” for the victim, magistrates sentenced Haywood to a three-month prison sentence, but suspended it for 18 months.

And that's the cherry on the top.
