“My poor poor baby was traumatised & I couldn’t even get him out of the pram to cuddle him incase I caused any further injuries to him by moving him.”
Tommy was rushed to hospital with injuries South Yorkshire Police say “are not believed to be life changing or threatening at this time”.
Miss Hudson also said: “His x-rays are fine we are still waiting for results from his ct scan but from how he is I’ll think that will also be fine.
