A MUM from Little Hulton has been arrested after her two-year-old son was found wandering alone in a field wearing only a nappy.

Police were called to the area, off Crescent Drive, at 3.30pm after reports of the boy walking through the streets.

After conducting house to house calls to identify the boy and his family, police arrested his mother on suspicion of child neglect.

The boy was taken to a police station to be looked after and is now safe and well.
