Episode Details

A two-year-old girl was found with drugs in her pocket at a Glasgow nursery, sparking a police investigation that led to the arrest of George Robertson, the man caring for her. Authorities discovered diazepam and cocaine in her jacket, later detecting cannabis on her bag — prompting a search of his home, which revealed shocking neglect: no electricity or adequate food, despite its tidy appearance. Robertson claimed he didn’t handle the drugs but admitted failing to properly check the child’s belongings. He also faced charges related to a separate incident involving a six-month-old baby under his care, who suffered visible injuries and untreated skin conditions requiring hospitalization. Guilty of wilfully exposing both children to harm, Robertson received 160 hours of unpaid work and 12 months of supervision — a sentence the sheriff described as appropriate given the severity of the offenses and the crucial role nursery staff played in preventing greater harm.
