Baby Reportedly Found Alone in 'Very Hot Car' at Leeds Car Boot Sale
West Yorkshire Police said officers were called after reports of child neglect, and the child’s parents were identified and spoken to as enquiries continued.
- West Yorkshire Police are investigating reports of a child left unattended in a vehicle at a car boot sale on Otley Old Road in Bramhope, with officers called to the scene at 9:44 am yesterday, August 2.
- In a public Facebook post, Jody Lloyd-Francis claimed the infant was found in a "very hot car," stating the child was "just strapped into a car seat" with "no water, no adult, no milk."
- The post garnered more than 5,800 reactions and over 1,200 comments, with Sally Brown commenting she "would've smashed the window" rather than wait for assistance.
- Officers identified and spoke to the parents at the boot sale, while Lloyd-Francis later praised event staff, saying they "were amazing" but were concerned about alarming the infant.
- Investigations are continuing to establish what happened, though Lloyd-Francis noted "nobody will ever know how long the baby was there prior to being seen" despite both parents being present at the event.
