EDMONTON -- A woman in her late teens is facing charges after she allegedly dropped her baby several times on the road Sunday morning while she was drunk, police say.
The mother was walking down the street near 34 Street and 119 Avenue at 12:49 a.m. carrying her 10-month-old boy when an apartment building security officer noticed her.
The guard called police after he watched the intoxicated woman drop the baby on the road several times. Both the mother and 10-month-old were taken to hospital.
The little boy only suffered a few bumps to his head, police say. But his mother remained in hospital yesterday.
The baby is now under provincial care while the EPS Child Protection Section investigates.
A police spokesman couldn't go into more detail on the charges the woman faces.
