A mum today denied neglecting and killing her teenage daughter.
Sharon Goldie, 44, is accused of causing the death of Robyn Goldie at their home in Lomond Drive, Wishaw, Lanarkshire.
Schoolgirl Robyn was 13 when she passed away on July 26, 2018.
Goldie appeared in the dock at the High Court at Glasgow and not guilty pleas were entered on her behalf by her defence counsel Marco Guarino.
Prosecutors allege her 44 year-old mum ill-treated the teenager and "exposed her to unnecessary suffering or injury to health".
This includes claims Goldie spat on Robyn, failed to provide her with proper food, clothing and heating as well as allow her to drink alcohol and smoke cannabis.
Robyn is said to have been subjected to "unhygienic living conditions" causing her to contract fleas. The girl is further alleged to have been locked in the property and that Goldie did not ensure she went to school or had an "adequate sleep pattern".
Goldie is also accused of the culpable homicide of her daughter.
The charge states the mum repeatedly failed or stopped Robyn getting suitable medical help or treatment.
The schoolgirl is said to have developed peritonitis - an infection of the stomach - caused by a perforated duodenal ulcer.
Robyn is said to have died at their house.
Prosecutor Ashlie Edwards QC said: "She was declared dead at her house when medical services were called."
The charges span between July 12, 2017 and the day of Robyn's death.
Goldie - who still lives at the home her daughter died - was bailed meantime.
A further preliminary hearing will take place in January. No trial date has been set.
