A desperate mother has been jailed for 12 months after tying up her teenage daughter in a bid to stop her buying drugs.
Julia Saker tried to stop 19-year-old daughter Tabitha leaving the family home after finding out she was an addict and was on her way to meet her dealer.
Saker and Tabitha's ex-boyfriend Christopher Francklin - who spotted Tabitha climbing out of a window and shoved her back into her room - tied her arms together with tape and shoved a sock in her mouth.
The pair were arrested in October last year after Tabitha dialled 999 and police heard her screaming as she was tied up and forcibly restrained.
