Star Hobson’s evil mum sent ‘uplifting’ cards from sicko fans in jail
A MUM caged over the death of tragic Star Hobson has been receiving letters from sick fans in jail.
Frankie Smith stood idly by as her violent partner and self-styled No1 Psycho, Savannah Brockhill, 28, murdered the 16-month-old.
Strangers have been sending the 20-year-old letters telling her to keep her spirits up after she was jailed for eight years.
A source told The Sun: “She’s had quite a few letters telling her to keep her chin up and sympathising with her situation.
“They are from women who said they’d been in similar positions where a controlling partner had led to things getting out of control in their lives.
“The letters have been quite uplifting and have helped Smith feel a little better about herself. She’s also had a few cards, too.”
Smith was jailed for eight years after being convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child.
The sentence has now been referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Scheme.

Her partner Brockhill was caged for life with a minimum of 25 years for murdering Star.
The monster stomped little Star to death after waging a campaign of brutal emotional and physical abuse against the tot.
The 16-month-old died in hospital from blood loss after her inferior vena cava - the largest vein in the body - was torn.
Medics said her injuries were usually only seen in car crash victims and had been caused by either "punches, kicks or stamps".
Doctors also discovered a number of "significant injuries" the baby had suffered "at different times during her short life".
This included two fractures to the right shin bone "caused by forceful twisting", a fractured skull and an old brain injury.
In total she had 15 separate injuries to her head and ten bruises to her legs, ankles, feet and toes.
A safeguarding practice review has been launched into Star's death, which came just weeks after the horrific murder of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes.
In a chilling echo of the six-year-old's death, there were five opportunities to save Star but the family's concerns were ignored by social workers and police.
