Woman Arrested Over Neglect
A 27-year-old woman from Witham, Essex, was arrested Friday on suspicion of neglect and causing unnecessary injury. She has since been released on police bail until July 26 as investigations continue.
“Our thoughts are with the family of the boy who is in a critical condition in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest,” said Detective Constable Zoe Eele of Thames Valley Police’s Child Abuse Unit. “We are supporting them as best we can at this extremely difficult time.”

About the Ride
The Coastguard HQ boat ride is a popular attraction at Legoland Windsor. Although there’s no height restriction, children under 1.3 metres (4 feet 3 inches) must be accompanied by someone aged 16 or older. Riders are encouraged to steer and pedal their boats but should beware – drivers often get wet.
The investigation remains open as police focus on the baby’s welfare and the circumstances behind this shocking event at the family favourite resort.
