A woman who stole an 18-month-old baby told the girl’s mother she didn’t deserve children when confronted after a frantic car chase, a judge has heard.
Brooke Logan Fitzgerald, 32, pleaded guilty in Brisbane District Court on Thursday to one count of child stealing.
“What sort of a mother leaves a child in the car?” Fitzgerald told police when they arrived to arrest her. “There was certainly an intention of the defendant to take the child for a prolonged period but she was interrupted and prevented from doing that by the quick actions of the mother,” he said.
