THE FAMILY of a woman who has been jailed for cooking her pet kitten in the microwave claim she should have been sectioned instead of jailed and say she's been failed by mental health experts.
Laura Cunliffe, 23, was jailed this week but her family says the public outcry over the case has seen her issued with death threats.
Her family believe she should have been offered more support to deal with her mental health issues and say she's been let down by the system.
The Barnsley Chronicle has a full in depth report - plus exclusive interviews with the family - in tomorrow's paper.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
