SAINT JOHN, N.B.- A 27 year old Saint John woman who says she is the person involved in the shocking story this week of an infant being left outside in the cold is telling her side of the story.
The incident has garnered headlines across the country.
Caleigh Shea tells Global News she had returned from the store on Monday night and briefly put the infant car seat on the ground to deal with her other children. “I took the two heavier ones and put them inside the door and in my porch and unzipped their jackets so that they wouldn’t fall over and they would be OK”, says Shea. “I turned around and came back out the door to grab my daughter which was sitting right by my door, and she was not there”
A neighbour had apparently heard a crying baby and called police.
Police say a 27 year old woman will appear in court in March to face a charge of failure to provide the necessities of life.

This story just doesnt add up,i have small children as well but i would never leave the youngest outside while i dealt with the others,you put the carseat inside first,It just doesnt sound righ tto me,if she was only inside for 2seconds,then would she have not seen someone take her child ? and why wouldnt she call 911 ? i know i would,and even if it was only 2seconds,which i highly doubt is the case,clearly it was 2sec too long b/c if it wasnt a nice neighbour,it could have been a diddler,then what ? social services wouldnt have your baby,some sex offender would and it usually doesnt end well !!!!
I think I would have put the car seat inside the door first !!!!!!
So my question is if she turned around and her baby was gone why did she not call 911 and report a kidnapping then… very fishy story, and would have put the baby in the house first as the older children can walk in the house by themselves. Sorry not buying it.
How old were the other two? Has anyone asked the question. If ages were about 2+3 then perhaps she would have been on the news when one of the older ones ran into the street because they were mobile. I have 3 kids and its not always easy to handle with 2 hands. I hope for her sake that the timing was just a strange coincidence.
This is BS, I have 3 children and a husband who works away all the time. My kids are 5, 3 and 14 months. I guess maybe this woman should have wrapped it up if she couldn’t handle having 3 children. And btw if she only left her child outside her door for a second the police would NOT have had time to come and take that poor baby. This woman needs to get a grip on reality. I don’t care if it would break my back, in weather like this I would NOT leave ANY of my children outside. You carry the baby in her infant carseat and walk the other 2 into the house. Grow a set and handle your kids properly Ms. Shea!
well her story took too long and btw the smallest child would b in the house first , in my opinion…. and take 2 jackets off?!?!?idk but this story sound fishy to me
I think myself i woud of put the smaller one in the house first, as for the other ones they could of went in the house as well and waited until you got in and the do what you had to do with them with the freezing cold temp this last week in my eyes they should of not been out side at all.. if you need to do errands then i would of called for a sitter to come into your home and take care of them.. common sence.
