A 27-year-old woman has been arrested in New Zealand after a 2-year-old girl was discovered trapped in her suitcase on a bus. The suitcase, which had been stored in a separate compartment beneath passengers, was found by the bus driver during a scheduled stop. The child was reportedly very hot but otherwise physically unharmed. She is currently undergoing medical assessment in hospital. The woman has been charged with ill-treatment and neglect of a child, with further charges possible. An investigation is ongoing, and the woman will appear in court on Monday. A bus driver’s quick action is credited with preventing a potentially worse outcome, according to police.
