Mother Locks Baby in Car Trunk To Attend Pop Concert

Neumunster, Germany - A couple who locked their eight-month-old baby in the trunk of their car while attending a pop concert appealed for the child to be returned from foster care. At the concert, they placed the baby boy in the trunk of the car, among discarded diapers, food and dirty laundry. Passersby heard the sound of a baby screaming and alerted police. But when an announcer at the concert asked the parents to make themselves known, they did not respond. Police eventually smashed their way into the vehicle and saved the child, who was sweating badly and was hospitalized. But the boy’s 18-year-old mother defended her actions saying that she kept the window of the car open and parked in the shade.  More
