Ruth Auta, a 28-year-old nurse in the UK, was sentenced to three years in prison for neglect after leaving her 10-week-old son, Joshua Akerele, alone at home while she worked. When she returned after eight hours, Joshua was found unresponsive and later pronounced dead, possibly from overheating. Auta initially lied about her childcare arrangements and attempted to flee to Nigeria, but CCTV evidence contradicted her claims. She pleaded guilty to child cruelty.
