Dog walkers found the crying baby. A final verdict was reached in the case.
The Pécs Jury sentenced the woman who left her newborn child to her fate two and a half years ago at a bus stop in Fonyód to a suspended prison sentence.
According to the announcement of the district court, the 37-year-old defendant, who was raising her minor child alone, had been living in orderly conditions in Austria for several years when she met a man from Zala, by whom she became pregnant in 2021, but she hid her condition from the outside world and did not visit a doctor.
On October 10, she gave birth to the baby alone in a holiday home in Balaton, washed the newborn, wrapped it in a towel, and then – still without telling anyone – got into the car. MTI wrote that after some wandering, the woman left the baby alone on the bench of the bus stop in front of the prosecutor’s office in Fonyód – covered, protected on three sides – and then traveled to Austria.
Not long after, dog walkers noticed the crying baby, who was later found by the emergency services to be completely healthy despite the conditions and the cool eight-degree weather. The woman reported herself to the police when she found out that she was wanted.
As it turned out, the woman suffers from a personality disorder, which could also be determined at the time of her act, and in addition, as a result of physical and emotional stress, she fell into a narrowed state of consciousness. Although the latter did not make him incapable, it did not limit him from realizing the consequences of his actions being dangerous to society and acting accordingly, but it made it difficult for him to think and to consider, but it made thinking and consideration difficult.
Following the indictment filed by the prosecutor’s office for attempted murder, the Kaposvár Court of First Instance sentenced the mother to one year – suspended for three years – in prison for endangering a minor. The Pécs Jury upheld the verdict, so it is final.
