Woman to be sentenced for dumping baby in station

A British woman will be sentenced today for abandoning an eight-month-old child in a railway station toilet.

Lisa Randall left the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, in a women’s toilet at Bristol Temple Meads.

The 26-year-old then returned home to Paignton, south Devon, where she was later arrested by police.

Newton Abbot Magistrates’ Court previously heard that Randall admitted leaving the baby but “showed no remorse”.

She claimed the boy was not in danger when she left him in a public toilet because it “was busy and warm and he was likely to be found and cared for”.
