Baby Left Outside In The Cold

A 27 year old woman has been charged with failing to provide the necessities of life after a baby girl was left outside earlier this week on Paddock Street in the freezing cold temperatures. 

Police say the baby, less than a year old, was in a stroller, fully clothed and covered with a few blankets. 

A neighbour alerted police when she heard the child crying. The Department of Social Development has launched an investigation.
