Laxmi Thapa's son was born with blue spot, blue-grey markings common on babies with brown or black skin.

After being referred to a hospital in Basingstoke, she was arrested when medical staff and police followed procedures for suspected child abuse.

Laxmi has been sharing her story with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ reporter Sophia Seth.
