A mum is fighting for her three children to be returned to her care but Cardiff family court has heard disturbing allegations about her behaviour. She is accused of taking one of her children with her to buy illegal drugs and denying the same child food.

All three children – the eldest of whom is a teenager and the youngest a toddler – are in care and Cardiff Council believes none should live with their mother. She disagrees and is battling in court for the two youngest to be immediately returned to her.
