And now I know...
Magen Hendry, 28, was drunk when she left her front door ajar and her children asleep at 3am on October 25, 2019. One child was of pre-school age and the other at primary school.
Teesside Crown Court has heard how police spotted Hendry's black Audi A9 driving dangerously, on Nelson Terrace in Stockton. Prosecutor Uzma Khan said that the car had no lights on and was seen going through red lights at the junction with Wellington Street; before driving through a second set of red lights at the junction with Victoria Street.
Ms Khan said that police following Hendry lost sight of her Audi, before it was picked up by CCTV abandoned in a car park on Durham Road. Hendry was seen crouching behind a wall. She had covered herself in some sort of grease - thought to be vandal grease - in a bid to hide from police; and her bare feet were bleeding.
/facepalm
Tabitha Buck, defending, said that social services had been involved since the incident and that a probation report found that Hendry had resorted to alcohol to cope with a crisis in her life.
How's that working out for her?
Judge Howard Crowson told Hendry that she had been "careless about the welfare of your children and of other drivers on the road." He handed her a two- year supervision order and an 18-month driving ban.
What?! What do you have to do these days? Still, no doubt she kept her head down and thanked her lucky stars for the leni...
Oh...
Hendry told the judge that there is no school bus and that a taxi to get her children to school was £7 each way. But the judge warned her that if she drove whilst banned, she could end up with a prison sentence.
He should have added on a few months for arguing!

If you can afford an Audi A9 you are hardly short of money and maybe a few less tattoos could save her a bit?
Check out the price of an Audi A9, that'll pay for a lot of £7 taxi rides.
Souds like bull cookies to me. If she lived far enough from school to satisfy the council rules there would be a school bus. Amazingly and like so many deadbeats she's playing the victim card.
So no money for kids taxi, but somehow have the money for lots of alcohol and an Audi A9 (that's an expensive electric car ?). Isn't there a typical pejorative in theses cases?
And in the meantime, who is driving the Audi? Let's hope that Officer Dribble has it flagged on the local ANPR system (if there is one!)
The comments are hilarious.
Imagine waking up next to that, you'd have to chew your arm off to save waking her up.

"If you can afford an Audi A9 you are hardly short of money..."
Leased, perhaps..?
"Amazingly and like so many deadbeats she's playing the victim card."
Because it apparently works. The courts are too gullible.

"The comments are hilarious."
Oh, yes!
