The child was found crying and in a terrified state by two passers-by at 5am
A young father left his two-year-old baby daughter at the side of a road to get revenge after his ex-girlfriend went on a night out..
He told how two men returning from a night out in Letterkenny in August 2020 had initially thought they had heard a child crying. A woman later telephoned the Garda station explaining that the lost child was her daughter and that she had been in the care of her father earlier in the night. The man eventually followed through on his threat but not before he took a picture of the child alone by the side of the road and sending it to her mother and her sister before driving off.
He was interviewed on four occasions during which he admitted getting the child out of her bed and leaving her in Letterkenny saying his temper got the better of him. The young woman said her daughter or herself had never been through anything so traumatic but added that they are getting through it.Barrister for the accused, Ms Fiona Crawford, said her client was rightfully ashamed of what he had done and was very remorseful.
