AN EVIL woman who filmed herself smashing a six-month-old baby’s skull before sending it to her partner for attention has been jailed.
Kim Frost, 37, unleashed such a horrific attack on the baby doctors said the injuries were similar being in a car accident or falling from a first-floor window.
She then disturbingly filmed the abuse before texting the videos to her partner to try and get his attention.
Frost was caged for four years after admitting Category A child cruelty and neglect at Northampton Crown Court on Friday.
The court heard how Frost, of Northampton, was in a “toxic relationship” with her partner when she attacked the baby shortly after it was born.
His Honour Judge Michael Fowler told Frost: “I’m satisfied you are guilty of prolonged and serious neglect and that the severe injuries suffered by the victim were non-accidental and were caused at your hand, made worse by your failure to obtain medical help.
“It’s clear to me the most serious injury, the principal focus of our proceedings – the injury to the child’s skull – was caused by significant force.
“It’s also clear that you showed deliberate disregard for the child’s welfare in order to seek and gain attention of the man you were in a relationship with at the time.
I’m satisfied you are guilty of prolonged and serious neglect and that the severe injuries suffered by the victim were non-accidental and were caused at your hand
His Honour Judge Michael Fowler
“In mitigation, this was clearly a dysfunctional, toxic relationship but I’m satisfied you were fully aware of what you were doing and the fact that you were not behaving rationally and that you’ve been described in a psychiatric report as having borderline personality disorder does not absolve you.”
Frost’s partner raised the alarm when he received the messages and videos of her abusing the baby and called the police on February 4, 2018.
Doctors found the tot had suffered multiple skull fractures and swelling of the brain.
The baby has mad a miraculously recovery and is now being cared for by a foster family.
Detective Constable Kirstie Brooks, of Northamptonshire Police’s child protection team, said: “This has been an extremely difficult case.
“The evidence has been particularly harrowing, depicting such severe injuries inflicted on a very young, vulnerable person at the hands of an adult.
“The child is now 23 months old and, thankfully, appears to have made a full recovery, but such was the severity of the injuries, the outcome could have been very different.
“I am pleased the child was removed from what was a highly dangerous situation, was safeguarded and since then, has not shown signs of long-term harm.
“I am happy with the result and what I believe is a fair sentence. While in custody, I hope Frost reflects on the gravity of what she has done.”
