New Glasgow Regional Police have charged a 60-year-old woman with four counts of 
Abandoning a Child.
The charges are in connection with an incident last Wednesday, July 29th. Police responded to a distress call that four young children were left unattended in a car at the New Glasgow Walmart parking lot. Some windows in the car were down. It was a hot and humid day.
Emergency Health Services personnel transported all four children to the Aberdeen Hospital as a precaution. They were later released.
The children ranged in age from one to 9 years of age, three girls and one boy.
The 60-year-old woman charged in the case has been released and will appear in Provincial Court in Pictou at a later date.
