Good behaviour bond for Brisbane mother of seven who left baby in car A MOTHER-of-seven has pleaded guilty to leaving her baby daughter unattended in a hot car for nearly an hour, after forgetting she was there. The 30-year-old mother of seven children under nine had a migraine and was running late for a doctor's appointment in South Brisbane on September 23. The Brisbane Magistrates Court today heard a concerned member of the public came across the woman's distressed infant daughter, sitting in a baby capsule, in a locked car, which had all of its windows wound up. The car was sitting in full sunlight and it was a warm and sunny day. Police were called and the woman was found inside the doctor's surgery and her keys were handed over to officers, who freed the child. The infant was taken to hospital and checked as a precaution, but was released back to her parents. Barrister Christopher Upton told the Brisbane Magistrates Court the woman was a good mother and was extremely remorseful after the incident. Mr Upton said his client simply forgot her baby was in the car. He said she was suffering from a migraine and was running late for her doctor's appointment. "It was an offence of omission," Mr Upton said She left her child in the motor vehicle, it was an accident. She accepts criminal responsibility. Magistrate Paul Kluck ordered the woman be placed on a good behaviour bond for three months. "You've got a lot going on in your life and on this occasion a lot of people may wonder how it would occur, but you simply forgot...that you had this young girl in your car," Mr Kluck said. Fortunately there was no lasting injury occasioned. The incident follows a similar case in Western Australia, which had tragic consequences. At the beginning of the month, a baby boy died after his father left him in his car after forgetting to drop him off at daycare. The father only discovered his error after he arrived at the centre in the afternoon to pick his son up, only to discover he had never been delivered. No charges were pressed in that case.
