Mother arrested after abandoning two‑year‑old child in stroller during the night

Madrid Municipal Police have arrested a 36‑year‑old woman for abandoning her two‑year‑old son in a stroller on the street during the early hours of the morning.

Officers found the child asleep and unharmed, with several empty beer cans in the stroller’s basket.

The mother returned to the scene intoxicated and gave contradictory explanations about who was supposed to be caring for the child.

The boy has been placed in the care of a relative, and Social Services have opened a monitoring file that will remain active for at least two months.
