Jimena child found locked in car in La Línea

(Agencies) An eight-year-old boy, resident of Jimena, was found by Local Police inside a locked car in the Mirasierra section of La Línea., in an area unsuitable for parking. When the police approached the car, the boy unlocked the doors and told them his mother had 'gone away with a (male) friend' and he had fallen asleep in the vehicle, a VW Passat. The police waited with the child for over an hour but when the mother failed to return, they took the boy to the National Police station (photo). The mother turned up two hours later, and proceedings against her are now in progress.
