Woman's neglect caused hungry boy to eat paint from ceiling

A woman who caused a young boy to be fed paint from a ceiling after making him go to bed hungry has been jailed for 32 months.

The boy – aged between five and eight – was also made to eat cat food while in the care of Yvonne Keenan at her home in Maryhill, Glasgow.

Three other children – who are all now adults – were severely punished by Keenan, 56, which included being made to face a wall for long periods of time.

Keenan pleaded guilty to cruel and unnatural treatment of children at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
