RCMP have arrested a 19-year-old woman after her 16-month-old child was found unconscious with severe injuries early on Sunday.
Mounties were called to assist EMS at a home on Lake Manitoba First Nation at 3:05 a.m. Officers arrived to find the toddler suffering from injuries consistent with assault.
The child was transported to a Winnipeg hospital and has since been upgraded to stable condition.
The mother was arrested at the scene and remains in custody. Authorities have withheld her identity to protect the child’s privacy.
The investigation is ongoing.
