A Denbighshire women who stole £24,000 inheritance from a girl in her care has been sentenced to 21 months in prison, suspended for two years.
Mary Griffths, 43, of Rhyl, was convicted of fraud after a jury found she abused her position as Jamie Jones's guardian after her mum died.
Chester Crown Court heard she made unauthorised withdrawals from a bank account between 2010 and November 2013.
She was spared an immediate prison sentence after a plea from Miss Jones.
In a letter read to the court, she said she only wanted her money back and did not want Griffiths to be jailed as she had been "a mother to me for 13 years".
