News24xx.com -  Tragic, after her facilities in apartment were flooded with poo, a pregnant mum has been forced to wash her children in a supermarket’s toilets. 

The woman named Charlene Lewis, 25, claims her Castle Bromwich flat now smells like a sewer due to a plumbing issue that even caused faeces to come out of the taps. Ms Lewis, who is 30 weeks pregnant.

Since then, she has been taking her son Kameron, 7, and daughter, Sabah, 3, to the bathrooms at Morrisons in a bid to keep them both clean.  She was soon left fearing for the health of both her children and her unborn baby.

Ms Lewis said,  "I can’t use my sink or bath or anything with water. There is poo up my walls. After I reported the blocked toilet, they flooded me out of the bathroom and I had to rip all the the carpets up. I have no water and stuff coming through my plug holes. My apartment smells like sewers and I’m still waiting for a hygiene clean."

Ms Lewis said council staff advised her not to stay in the property while the issue with the bathroom was investigated. Because before, the Birmingham City Council denies the incident. A spokesperson for Birmingham City Council said they have now scheduled the ‘minor works’ needed to fix the bathroom.

But the mum of two claims that she has been offered no alternative accommodation despite being without a bathroom for a month. 

Her son Kameron, who has been tested for ADHD and autism, will not use any other toilet and they cannot sleep in any other bed but his own.

Sabah has been staying with Ms Lewis’ grandmother for the time being, but the expectant mother still has to return to her flat each night to get Kameron to go to sleep. The pair then go to her friend’s house every morning to prepare his sandwiches for school.

She claims that the family has had to bin most of their clothes due to the clinging nature of the stench – as well as a new Moses basket for the baby.
