At Manchester Crown Court, Zykowski who is seven months pregnant and Ellidge, both of Westcott Avenue, Withington pleaded guilty to child cruelty.
They were both given an 18-month community rehabilitation order and made subject to a 12-month drug rehabilitation order.

When it's born with foetal alcohol syndrome it'll become property of the care system for life.
