June 2019 Northampton woman caused serious physical harm to a six month old baby A Northampton woman has been sentenced today at Northampton Crown Court for causing serious physical harm to a six month old baby. Kim Frost, age 37, of Nether Jackson Court, Northampton, pleaded guilty to Category A child cruelty and neglect, the most serious of its kind. She was sentenced to four years in custody. However she will serve JUST two years in prison, before being allowed out on licence. In February 2018, the victim suffered injuries so serious they were described by doctors as being the equivalent to what may be sustained by involvement in a road traffic collision or a fall from a first-floor window. Frost was involved in what was described in court as a toxic relationship with a man at the time the events took place and it was clear from a series of harrowing texts and videos she sent him that she abused the child in order to gain his attention, causing him eventually to contact police on February 4, 2018. As a result of the abuse, the victim suffered one injury so severe it caused multiple skull fractures and a haematoma, swelling of the brain. The child has now made a full recovery
