Update: Mum On The Run With Her Child Turns Herself In

The mother on the run with her young son (read here) dramatically handed herself in last night after the Daily Mail persuaded her to contact police, the Daily Mail reports.

According to the media, Rebecca Minnock, 35, surrendered after 17 days in hiding and said: ‘My time has run out.’

Moments before she gave herself in, she tearfully defended her decision to flee with three-year-old Ethan. As her son played with his toys nearby, Miss Minnock said: ‘My only regret would be the trouble my family have gotten into, all the police efforts and time I’ve wasted.

‘Obviously everyone’s been concerned but we’ve both been absolutely fine.

‘He’s been safe and happy and I don’t have any regrets because I’ve spent so much more time with him than I would have been able to.

‘I know what everyone has seen in the papers and the news but obviously while all that’s been going on we’ve been having normal, fun times together.
