Mother in Spain leaves five-year-old son crying alone on balcony while she parties all night with friends

A SELFISH mother left her five-year-old son crying alone on a balcony, while she partied all night with friends. 

Police were called to the house in the Ciudad Jardin neighbourhood of Cordoba at around 3:30am on Sunday morning after concerned neighbours called the authorities. 

Officers tried to calm the boy while they waited for firefighters to arrive and rescue him from the balcony.

The boy’s mother returned from partying at 7am on Sunday morning and was informed by neighbours that police had taken her son.

He is currently being looked after by family members while his mother awaits an appearance at court.
