Jordan admitted a charge of child cruelty at Peterborough Crown Court last month

A mother has been sentenced after her eight-month-old daughter was found motionless at the bottom of a bath.

Letetia Jordan, 20, of Burdett Grove, Whittlesey, left the baby with water up to her chest for at least 10 minutes last May, police said.

Later she was found "not moving" in the bath, but she was eventually revived.

Jordan was given an 18-month sentence, suspended for two years, having previously admitted child cruelty at Peterborough Crown Court.
