Lethbridge woman who left child in freezing car gets conditional discharge

LETHBRIDGE- A judge has given a 32-year-old woman who was charged after two young children were found in a freezing car late at night in Lethbridge a conditional discharge.

The mother has been put on probation for a year and cannot be named to protect the identity of her child.

She will have no criminal record if she keeps the peace, is of good behaviour and takes counselling recommended by her probation officer.

The woman pleaded guilty last spring to a charge of failing to provide the necessaries of life.
