An Irish woman has been arrested in Mallorca, Spain, on suspicion of abandoning her child while on a drunken holiday, reports Breaking News.
The 45-year-old was placed in a hotel in Manacor in the east of the island after leaving her five-year-old daughter alone in community service.
Police said the mother had been drinking all day and the little girl was being looked after by other tourists.
The woman continued to drink even though hotel staff stopped to serve her alcohol instead of going to the supermarket opposite to buy beer.
A spokesperson for Spain’s National Police said: “We have arrested an Irish woman, aged 45, who was on holiday in Majorca for a crime of child abandonment. She left the youngster alone so she could drink alcohol. She began drinking the first day she arrived at a hotel in Manacor. She drank large amounts and consumed alcohol from the moment she got up to the moment she went to bed. She drank beer only and the little girl was cared for by the other tourists she had got to know in the same hotel who also had a little girl,” reports Breaking News.
he spokesperson added: “[The woman] was arrested after being located in her hotel room and finally opening the door in a state of obvious drunkenness,” rpeorts Breaking News.
