A 12-year-old boy she was caring for was behind the wheel.

Marcia was attempting to prevent the boy from driving off in the car.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to two years in youth custody after admitting causing death by dangerous driving.

He was originally charged with murder, which he denied.

Marcia had been a foster carer for Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) for a number of years at the time of the fatal incident.

In a statement released by RMBC after the boy was sent to begin his sentence, the authority confirmed an 'independent' review would be carried out.
