Police in Torquay were called to Lymington Road yesterday afternoon following an incident involving a small child.
The mother of the toddler involved stated on Facebook:
“She told me something was wrong with my daughter and she needed to take her to hospital because she had broken legs, she tried undoing her straps saying she was taking her to hospital,”
The woman was taken into custody and is currently in the care of mental health services.
