A mother has been jailed for running an 18-month hate campaign against a friend's six-year-old daughter.
Kathryn Skinner, 40, from Whipton, Exeter, was jailed for three years for deliberately getting her into trouble at home and school.
Exeter Crown Court heard she stole money and even spiked drinks with anti-depressants at children's parties and blamed it on the child.
Judge Graham Cottle told her the story of the case "almost defies belief".
The young victim was left traumatised and bewildered after being punished for offences she had not committed.
