"As a parent, I could not let her be in that situation and I got the little girl and held on to her," she said in the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday. She was found that evening lying in a pool of blood just inside the front door of her Tamworth unit, while the little girl was unharmed. "Emma, being a mother, could not leave the child in there, opened the door and the little girl came." Constable Rowan Donaldson said he saw the woman lying on her back while "everything I could see was covered in blood". The child had some blood on her singlet as well as dried blood on her hands and feet.
