FOLLOW UP: A MOTHER WHO PUT SON IN WASHING MACHINE IS BEING HUNTED BY THE POLICE

If you could recall in my earlier post In July Courtney Stewart posted a photograph on Facebook that showed two-and-a-half-year-old Caleb, who suffers from Down’s syndrome, in the drum of the

machine.
Footage later emerged of Stewart throwing Caleb face first onto the floor of a bouncy castle and  dragging him around by his ankles.

Last night officers were looking for the 21-year-old after she failed to appear in court on a breach of the peace charge, the Daily Record reported.
Stewart, of Erskine, Renfrewshire, had been due to appear at Paisley’s Justice of the Peace court for a pre-trial hearing over claims she behaved in a threatening or abusive manner in Ladyacres, Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, on December 12 last year.


At a court hearing on July 8 she pleaded not guilty to the charge.
After the Record revealed Stewart’s treatment of her son she went on ITV’s This Morning to apologise.
She told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Longsford her ‘biggest mistake’ was posting the photo – in which he could be seen through the glass door with an adult hand holding it shut – on Facebook.
During her interview she said: 'Every day I make mistakes as a mother, every day, everybody does, and I learn from these mistakes every day.’
