An Ontario couple whose baby is believed to have been born in a New Brunswick motel has been charged with failing to provide the necessities of life.
Police were called to the Quality Inn in Saint-André over the weekend and were told a woman may have delivered a baby in one of the rooms sometime before May 25.
No one had seen the woman and the baby and there was concern for their well-being.
After asking for the public’s help on Monday, police located the couple and the baby at a motel in Edmundston late that evening and arrested the parents.
