A London police officer and single mother is suing every agency involved in placing her baby in foster care during a visit to New York in April. Louise Fielden was arrested at the Chelsea Highline Hotel for leaving her son, Samuel, who was younger than six months at the time, alone for more than an hour on two occasions, reports the New York Daily News. Fielden, 42, counters that she left her son sleeping on a cot for 30 minutes while she went to sterilize his bottles, and she says she was eating in the kitchen nearby when witnesses thought they saw him alone in the hotel lobby. She says in "my culture and society in London ... leaving a child for a short period of time is normal and acceptable."
