LONDON, Ont. — The mother and father of an eight-week old baby were arrested and charged after a neighbor found the infant in a car seat at the end of a driveway.
The baby was found around 5:40 a.m. Tuesday and taken to a hospital by paramedics, The Record reports.
Police checked the home and found the baby’s fathers sleeping inside. His being at the address, and the fact that he had been drinking, were both in violation of a probation order and was arrested and charged for the crime.
The baby’s mother had been arrested around 2 a.m. for driving while impaired by drugs. Investigators believe she placed the child in the driveway before driving way. She was charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life and abandoning a child.
The child was turned over to care of the Children’s Aid Society.
