A MOTHER who was arrested after her two-year-old son was found wandering alone with just a nappy on has received a police caution.
Officers were called to land near Crescent Drive, in Little Hulton, after receiving reports from people who saw the boy wandering around the streets yesterday afternoon.
The woman was later arrested on suspicion of child neglect, and the boy was taken to a police station to be looked after and is safe and well.
A police spokesman said the mother, aged 21, has not been charged with an offence.
It is understood that it was not deemed to be appropriate to bring charges, and she is being supported by partner agencies.
