Closed petition Lenient sentencing in the child death case of Aaron Booth 2012
Closed on
I would like the Attorney General to Review the case of Lauren Booth who's 2 year old son, Aaron Booth, died due to drinking plant food she used to grow cannabis. He was in her care at the time of the incident. There were other issues of neglect mentioned in the case. She received a 12 month suspended sentence at Bradford Crown Court on 29 May 2012 where Judge Colin Burn described Aaron's death as prolonged, horrible and preventable. Ms Booth showed no remorse following sentencing.
