A mother who spent her disabled daughter's benefits on bingo and weekends away today insisted she was not a bad parent.
Despite spending £124,536 intended for 25-year-old daughter Hayley, Julie Smith, 46, blamed her addiction to gambling saying it was a release from caring.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that Hayley has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk or talk and as a result receives money for her car, day centre trips and specialist equipment.
