A man who left his two-year-old daughter at the side of a road has pleaded guilty to child cruelty. The man, who wanted revenge on his ex-girlfriend, then sent pictures of the crying baby to her mother before leaving.
The horrifying incident saw the child left crying by the road. She was discovered by concerned passersby at five o'clock in the morning. Two men returning from a night out in Letterkenny in August 2020 found the distressed child sitting with no shoes on and holding a baby bottle with milk outside a construction site, reports the Irish Mirror.
Police Sergeant Frank McDaid of Letterkenny Garda Station told the District Court of the man, whose identity has been protected, but is said to be in his 20s, left the child there.
