Parents arrested in abandoned baby case
The suspected parents who abandoned their newborn a week ago have both been charged for the crime. Belmopan police say twenty-eight year old Gary Young of Santa Elena, Cayo and twenty year old Lloydia Martinez of Roaring Creek delivered a baby girl last weekend but decided to leave the infant on the veranda of Martinez’s neighbour. The child was found on Monday and rushed to the Western Regional Hospital in Belmopan, where she is listed in stable condition. Her parents now face the possibility of a fine and imprisonment for the charge of abandonment of an infant.
