Mother Jailed after force feeding her baby

Gloria Dwomoh has been jailed after she force fed her 10 month old girl Diamond. Diamond died later that year.


Gloria Dwomoh, a 31-year-old nurse from Walthamstow, London, was jailed for three years after being convicted last month of allowing or causing the death of Diamond Dwomoh her 10 month old daugther.The 10-month-old was forced to take solid foods from the age of six months. She died in March 2010. The Old Bailey heard Diamond died from pneumonia caused by food in her lungs that had blocked her airways.
Gloria, who worked at St Thomas's Hospital near Waterloo, had denied the charge.
The trial heard Dwomoh was obsessed with Diamond's weight and fed her liquidised food, including meat and cereals, using a jug when she was weaning the child onto solid food.
