A traumatised mum has said two young children found the frozen body of a newborn baby in a plastic bag at a neighbour's house.
Carol Hirst, 28, claims she was asked to help on December 16, by the children who had the dead baby in the bottom drawer of a chest-high fridge freezer.
Emergency services were called at 12.15pm where the baby was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two people, a 17-year-old girl and a 45-year-old woman, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Thursday night, after the body was found at a house in Norman Crescent, Rossington, in Doncaster.
South Yorkshire Police confirmed the investigation is ongoing, and the two have both been released on bail.
Carol told Yorkshire Live that she was called around to help at the time the baby was discovered.
She said: "I just saw this baby and broke down. I closed the bag."
She phoned her 23-year-old partner Darnell Jackson to come and help, telling him: 'There's a dead baby' before hanging up.
Carol explained how the drama unfolded saying: "I got a phone call from my neighbour saying I needed to go round as the children had found a baby in a bag in the freezer.
"So I ran round and saw the bag and saw this baby and broke down.
"My neighbour then came in and saw it, she instinctively called the police and couldn't speak so I had to take over.
"We both have young children so this is traumatising, the police then came and said it was a crime scene.
"I sent my neighbour to mine, [with the children], and my partner came round to make sure it was an actual baby as I couldn't believe it."
Carol also said it has made her unable to fully enjoy her own baby, adding: "Coming home to my own six week old, Ivy Jackson, it feels as if my own enjoyment of my newborn has been stolen, as every time I look at her all I can see is the child. It makes me feel physically sick."
