Hong Kong  - A mother who left her four children aged between six and 15 at home for a week without food or money was jailed for two months by a Hong Kong court on Thursday.

Winnie Kwan, who was charged with neglect, was told by Eastern Court magistrate Gary Lam that she was not a suitable mother.

Kwan left the children at home while she visited China to care for a sick friend. (dpa)
