A vulnerable 18-year-old whose baby died after her calls for help were ignored as she gave birth alone in a prison cell was not provided with bereavement support – but the prison guards who failed to get her medical assistance were offered counselling.

The details were buried in a devastating report from a prison watchdog published last week that described how the teenager was found in bed cradling her dead baby more than 12 hours after pressing her cell bell and telling staff at the privately run HMP Bronzefield that she needed an ambulance.

Police don't get to deny your child life saving medical care because their drug addict mother says so.

Oh right, i forgot, the life of a child doesn't matter to conservatives once the baby is born

Actually the child doesn't matter because it's a future criminal like the mother. I'm not a conservative. I'm a fascist and big defender of abortion. Margaret Sanger was right about removing human weeds.
