Not what doctor ordered

PITY the poor child in the care of neighbour from hell Dawn Shackleton, who was last year evicted from her Tyneside home along with other family members.

A picture, snapped this week as she faces a jail sentence for benefit fraud, shows her moments after apparently topping up the unfortunate tot’s bottle with a fizzy drink.

Perhaps someone could explain to Shackleton that just because it’s called Dr Pepper doesn’t mean it’s actually recommended by a doctor.
