Police in Jaén are looking for the father who abandoned his three month old son in a coffee shop in the Peñamefécit district of the city. The mother is in police custody awaiting a court hearing and the toddler and his 5 year old sister are now under the responsibility of the Junta de Andalucia.
The couple visited the coffee shop in Peñamefécit with the 5 year old and the baby, in a pram, but left without them. The mother was picked up about an hour after the incident but police are still looking for the father.
Abandoning a child is a crime carrying a sentence of three years in prison or four years if the life of the child is put in danger.
The baby is currently being cared for in the hospital Materno Infantil in Málaga.
