5 y.o. girl found living in a slum

Here is something to think about during Christmas: the police found out that there was a 5 years old girl living with her homeless parents in a slum near train station in quarter Maloměřice.

The family lived in a shanty constructed from bricks and canvas; both parents are told to be heavy drinkers.

This is where the baby has lived.

Although the girl had been healthy, she was placed to a creche and her mother was arrested, as she had not provided her daughter the medical care that was required by Czech laws.

However – mother and daughter are still seeing each other and authorities try to help them both to live together soon in better conditions. I hope this story is going to have a happy end.
