The death of a schoolgirl who died alone in agony while her mum was at the pub is set to be examined by a sheriff later this year.
Robyn Goldie passed away at the Wishaw home she shared with mother Sharon, who was later convicted of child neglect.
The 13-year-old had told her mum that she was “hurting all over” and begged for help after developing an infection caused by a perforated stomach ulcer. But instead of caring for her child, cruel Goldie left her child to die in July 2018, Glasgow Live reports.
A Fatal Accident Inquiry will examine the role social work services had with the family when the hearing gets underway in September at Hamilton Sheriff Court.
We previously told how Goldie was jailed for three-and-a-half years and also admitted biting, hitting, pulling Robyn's hair, failing to provide food, clothes, heating and to allowing her to smoke cannabis and drink alcohol. Robyn was found slumped and unresponsive on the sofa when Goldie returned from the pub with a friend.
When the friend checked on Robyn she was found to be dead. An ambulance was called but Goldie told paramedics: "She's at it." When she was told that her daughter had passed away she began wailing and said: "No. She cannot be."
The court heard that the child suffered horrifying neglect when living with her mother and at times was reduced to begging for money for food. Robyn had previously enjoyed a stable life while living with her grandmother, but returned to live with her mother in 2017.
The FAI will allow a full public airing of all the evidence available relating to Robyn's case and the sheriff overseeing the hearing will issue a written determination in due course.
The hearing is due to start on Wednesday, September 27.

Guy Lodge Film Critic You have to admire the moxie of authors and filmmakers who set their science-fiction spectaculars in the very near future, essentially confronting viewers with what may seem a pretty outlandish forecast for their own lives. Those that pull it off present us with possibilities resonant enough to ponder, even when they’re too far-fetched to actively fear: So it proves in “Restore Point,” a sharp, high-shine sci-fi outing from the Czech Republic, in which earthly life after death is routine, a cellular rather than spiritual matter. Set in an unspecified (though Czech-speaking) central Europe in the year 2041, director Robert Hloz’s whopper of a calling-card debut may offer a more credibly subdued, budget-constrained visual of the mid-21st century than the lavishly built “Blade Runner 2049” — unless we’re in for a drastic design (r)evolution over the course of the 2040s — but its ideas are sky-high in concept. Marrying glossy mainstream genre aesthetics to probing, elaborately conceived speculative storytelling, this is a notably ambitious and auspiciously well-realized first feature for Hloz: the kind that appears to be flaunting his capabilities for even bigger international and Hollywood assignments.
