Mother Who Abandoned Baby In Arcade Will Not Face Jail

A woman who abandoned her newborn daughter in a toilet cubicle at an amusement arcade will not face jail, it has been reported.

On 16 April 2015, a baby girl was found at Silcock's Amusements in Southport, Merseyside. She belonged to Nicola Glover, who abandoned her at the venue.


At a previous hearing, Ms Glover, 30, admitted cruelty.

She is understood to have been "overwhelmed by panic" when she gave birth on her own, and hoped someone would find her daughter. It also said that she did not intend to cause the child harm.

Appearing at Liverpool Crown Court, Glover was given an eight-month sentence, suspended for 18 months.

Her daughter, named April by nurses at Ormskirk Hospital, has been taken into care.
