A mum has been arrested after dumping her baby with a tramp while she went shopping.
The woman put the homeless man in charge of the eight-week-old girl after spotting him outside a Sainsbury's store and then wandered off with her boyfriend, reports the Daily Mirror.
After waiting outside the supermarket for more than an hour, the concerned down-and-out handed the child to shocked store staff - who called police. The pair were arrested at the scene.
As officers were interviewing staff, the 35-year-old woman and her 26-year-old partner finally returned looking for the baby.
After examining the baby in the office of the supermarket in Bromley, Kent, ambulance staff took the child to hospital for a check-up before putting her in the care of social services.
A Sainsbury's spokesman said: "The baby was taken care of in the store until the police were called."
The mum's boyfriend was later released without charge.
What on earth was she thinking??? I think this belongs on the wall of Dumbarses.

Unfortunately this is an all too familiar occurrence, some people have kids these day with out the ability or means to take care of them, they think just because they can have kids they should. My Mom has always said that children are a privilege not a right.

Here in America if you go to a hospital or say a firestation and hand the child over they don't ask any questions or arrest you or what not...they take the kid. Maybe should have something like that in there area.
