Social workers rescue baby boy from rum shop

An 11-month-old baby boy was rescued around 6:30 am on Wednesday from a rum shop where his 31-year-old mother was drinking when officers from the Child Care and Protection Agency (CC&PA) in Region Five made a sweep of the area.

The child was taken to Georgetown, while the mother, who had reportedly already consumed two bottles of red wine, was taken into police custody.
