The trial heard Sutton had told a social worker she knew of other young mothers who stubbed out cigarettes on their children to keep them quiet, but refused to name names.

The defendant later denied the claims and said the social worker had 'invented' the conversation.

Sentencing her yesterday, Judge John Cavell told her: 'You quite deliberately applied a lighted cigarette to a 15-month-old child.

'The only sentence this court can pass is a prison or custodial sentence.'

The child is now being cared for by her grandparents.

Evil

Yes, an evil person, hope she gets it back at her in jail!

white trash bitch.....another one who i hope karma bites in the butt someday 10 times worse.

she knew of other young mothers who stubbed out cigarettes on their children to keep them quiet,

Not sure how that is supposed to work. When I get burned I cry. Babies having babies.

smoking is such a horrible habit....especially just around your children...ugh...shame on her and those who smoke around their kids
