Hide AdHunter’s mum, Terri Walters, 32, of Kingsway Gardens, Hucknall, changed her plea to guilty in March.
The pair were due to be sentenced on today (Monday).
But after hearing further mitigation, and that White has been diagnosed with sleep apnoea and Walters is no longer using heroin, Judge Gregory Dickinson QC again adjourned proceedings, saying he needs more time to consider the sentence.
He said: "I want to think about this case.
"Sometimes there is no right or wrong answer but I want to get it right.”
The pair will now be sentenced at 10am on Thursday, May 26.
