A Nova Scotia woman accused of not properly dressing her nine-month-old girl for the cold is due to appear in court next week.
Bridgewater police have charged the 26-year-old woman with criminal negligence causing bodily harm.
Police launched an investigation after someone reported that a woman was carrying a baby outside at around 4:30 a.m. on Dec. 27.
It was –9 C at the time, and the baby wasn't dressed for the weather, police were told.
Bridgewater police said the baby wasn't responsive when officers arrived.
The little girl was treated in hospital for injuries to one hand and released to the care of her father.
The woman is scheduled to appear in Bridgewater provincial court on Jan. 14.
