TWO women and a teenager are facing sentence in three weeks time after police discovered two children in an attic in Hartlepool.
Yesterday, the teenage boy appeared before Teesside Crown Court and admitted cruelty to two children, a boy and a girl, between December last year and February. The two women, aged 22 and 20, had previously admitted the same charges involving the children.
The three people, none of whom can be named for legal reasons, were all granted bail to allow the preparation of a pre-sentence report on the teenage boy. The case was adjourned for three weeks.
