A couple have been charged with neglecting and starving a child for almost 18 months.
Gemma Freedman and Harlie Webster, both 22, are accused of wilfully neglecting the child at two addresses in Dundee between June 21 2017 and November 2 2018.
They are charged with repeatedly failing to attend pre-arranged medical appointments, administer prescribed medication and provide the child with adequate nourishment and clothing.
The pair, both of Fintry, allegedly failed to supervise the child whereby the youngster sustained numerous injuries. Freedman pled not guilty and a trial was fixed for October 14.
Webster’s case was continued without plea until August 16.
