A Scots mum has hit out at her landlords after her son fell through the floorboards twice in their 'home from hell'.
Donna Milne, 30, moved into a basement flat with her two sons Kaleb, eight, and Kolbi, two, in Aberdeen in February - and says she has had nothing but issues since.
The family's kitchen has flooded four times and Kolbi has fallen through the floorboards twice over the past two months, the mum alleges.
The youngster was fortunately unharmed on both occasions, and the floorboards have now finally been fixed.
But desperate mum Donna believes the entire family have had their mental health affected by the living conditions in the rental property.
She claims that Kaleb, who cannot swim, has been left terrified of drowning thanks to the constant flooding and has started wetting the bed since moving into the home.
Unemployed Donna said: "I can see that none of us are happy right now.
"Nothing was done after the first time Kolbi fell through the floor - it took him falling in twice before the housing association sent someone to fix it."
Donna says she and her upstairs neighbour have suffered from repeat flooding that she claims is yet to be resolved.
Most recently, the family-of-three had their Easter break spoiled by a 15 minute downpour of water falling into their kitchen on April 17.
And, despite all of the problems, Donna alleges Grampian Housing Association are reluctant to help.
She said: "The flooding was immense but I couldn't get into the kitchen and start mopping before it stopped because the water was causing my lights to crackle and I was worried about an electrical fire.
"My repair company, Heat Care, have been around to check out the roof but haven't actually done anything to fix the problem.
