Ronnie Higginson tragically died at his home on November 26, 2019, after going into cardiac arrest. An inquest heard that his parents were told to take him to a hospital due to his cough and difficulty breathing but never did so. Toxicology tests revealed psycho-active substances in his blood and urine, indicating exposure to alpha-PHP and MDPEP - commonly known as monkey dust.
A mum and dad who left their baby living in "some of the worst conditions" a social worker had ever seen exposed him to Monkey Dust before his death, an inquest has heard.
Following his death, Ronnie's mum Kayleigh Clarke was jailed for 27 months after being convicted of child cruelty by neglect. Partner Michael Higginson received a 15-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after being convicted of the same charge.. "Exposure to monkey dust would have increased the risk of cot death. It was clear he had some sort of respiratory tract infection - histology of his lungs showed evidence of acute inflammation.
Helen Hawkins was an agency social worker at Stoke-on-Trent City Council from July to October 2019. She told the inquest: "The first time I met the family and visited the home I was quite taken aback by how the conditions were. There were no carpets on the floor and no bedding. There was a potty that looked like it had vomit in.
There was a 'really strong' cannabis smell during another visit. Ms Hawkins added: "I remember Michael being very argumentative at the time and Kayleigh presented as extremely vulnerable."
