<p> Jasmine Gregory a 24-year-old mother of two kids was convicted of manslaughter after the court heard she drank two bottles of cider and did the washing up downstairs while her daughter, Robyn Andrews-English, was left in an adult bath in August 2014.<br />
The 24-year-old mother of two apparently has a history of drunken parenting.<br />
She allegedly, had forgotten she had left her daughter in the bath and even went outside the house to ask passers-by if they knew where she was. This occurred after she had drunk two bottles of cider, the court heard. It was an adult bath with no support and no special seat fora baby.<br />
She was handed a three-year sentence at Oxford Crown Court by Judge Ian Pringle who described her actions as &#8220;wholly wrong and atrocious&#8221;.<br />
<span class="m_first-letter">After the verdict was handed down investigators involved with the case revealed that Gregor</span>y&#8217;s in-laws were very upset with the length of her sentencing which they considered too lenient. <span class="m_first-letter">T</span>he family stormed out of court after Jasmine was jailed for just three years, which entitles her to parole after 18 months.</p>

<p>The case turned on the revelation that Gregory left Robyn in the bathtub despite social workers asking her not to leave her child alone, just hours earlier. This played into establishing a pattern of irresponsible parenting by the defendant. On the fateful day, Gregory was said to have become distracted after drinking the alcohol and started doing the washing-up, forgetting her baby was upstairs in the bath alone. On a previous occasion she had left the baby in a pram for eight hours while she drank in a public house.<br />
Gregory ran out of her home in Oxfordshire and asked passers-by where her baby was before she was found holding Robyn&#8217;s lifeless body, it was said.<br />
She had repeatedly shouted she had left her daughter for &#8220;less than 10 minutes&#8221; but after the tragic events Gregory said she was &#8220;so busy&#8221; and only went downstairs briefly.</p>

<p>&#8220;It was an adult bath with no support and no special seat for her,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You then left her for how long we will never know. You left that young little girl in an adult bath unattended and she drowned.&#8221;<br />
He added: &#8220;I don&#8217;t underestimate the loss that you feel and the loss you&#8217;re always going to feel and I don&#8217;t underestimate the loss of so many others.<br />
&#8220;What you did on August 7, 2014, was so wholly wrong and atrocious that I would be failing in my duty if I did not pass a custodial sentence. No sentence I pass will compensate for the loss of that little girl.&#8221;<br />
Prosecutor Oliver Saxby, told the court, a social worker Carla Didcock, had just cautioned Gregory not to leave her children unsupervised while she they took a bath during a home visit. <span class="m_first-letter">S</span>he left shortly after midday and received a text from Gregory at about the time she was seen in a panic out of her home at 2pm, the jury heard.<br />
Mr Saxby said Gregory had a &#8220;clear track record of careless and negligent parenting&#8221; and said she had ignored advice on how to bathe her child.<br />
Mr Saxby added that &#8220;to forgot your baby was in the bath over a period of five or 10 minutes clearly showed gross negligence&#8221;.<br />
He also slammed Gregory&#8217;s decision to not give evidence and said it left the case &#8220;crying out for an explanation of what happened&#8221;.</p>
