A mother has been charged with manslaughter after the dead body of her seven-year-old son was found outside in freezing conditions almost four years ago.
Hakeem Hussain was discovered near his great-uncle's terraced house where he and his mother had been staying on Cook Street, in Nechells, Birmingham.
Two ambulances and a paramedic rushed to the scene at 7.30am on November 26, 2017 but the child had suffered a cardiac arrest and could not be saved.
His mother Laura Heath, 39, has now been charged with manslaughter and four counts of cruelty to a child.
She will appear before Birmingham Magistrates tomorrow. Hakeem was a Year 3 pupil at Nechells Primary Academy, just yards from where the schoolboy was found.
