The father of a four-year-old boy whose mummified body was found in his mother's bedroom told police the youngster was being neglected the year before his death, a court has been told.
Aftab Khan was giving evidence at the trial of Amanda Hutton, who denies manslaughter over the death of her son Hamzah Khan in December 2009.
The youngster's body was found by police nearly two years later.
During a day of harrowing testimony at Bradford Crown Court, jurors heard how police visited Hutton's house nine times before Hamzah's death.
They were also read a transcript of an interview Mr Khan gave to police after he was arrested for hitting Hutton in 2008.
He told officers his son was undernourished and neglected and threatened to contact social services, warning: "Believe me, I'm going to get in touch ... because it's gone so far now."
He also described how Hutton refused to let him take Hamzah to see a doctor, despite telling her "time and time again" he was not well.
Earlier, the court heard how a text message sent to Hutton from a phone belonging to Hamzah's brother, Qaiser Khan, in December 2008 accused her of "neglect and abuse".
It read: "Watch out Monday you *****. I'm going to go to the police station to report you for child neglect and abuse. Look at Hamzah."
The 22-year-old, who said he could not remember sending the message, also gave evidence at his mother's trial.
He told jurors how he saw Hamzah sleeping in a buggy that "stank" of urine and had to be disinfected.
He described seeing the youngster eat the contents of his own nappy and drink "mouldy, off milk" his mother had given him as a punishment.
A witness previously said Hamzah "didn't get fed much" and "looked really skinny, stick thin" in the days before his death.
Hutton rejects prosecutors' claims that she starved her son to death, insisting he died after he was taken ill.
The trial continues.
