A WOMAN whose baby son was found abandoned in a street, freezing cold in an upturned pram, was so drunk she had not even realised he was missing. The one-year-old, baby boy, was found by a passer-by on New Year’s Day, crying and wet in his pram six hours after the mother had wheeled him home from a party, a court heard. the Little boy was so cold he had turned purple. When police called at the woman's home to investigate they found she was still drunk and had no idea her baby was missing. The 25-year-old from united kingdom admitted ill-treating, neglecting, abandoning or exposing the baby in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering. head of magistrates’ court was told that the child had now been taken away from his mother and put into care. Magistrates heard that the mother and her children had spent New Year’s Eve with her partner at a family party nearby. But prosecutor mike helier said the mother-of-four was asked to leave when she became boisterous after consuming a huge quantity of alcohol. She left with her children at 2.45am. At 9am a woman noticed the baby in his overturned pram on the path there street and took him to a nearby home, where she tried to warm the baby and called an ambulance. When the mother was confronted by police she claimed she had gone home with the children’s grandmother, but when the baby did not settle down took him out again in his pram.
