A Single mother abandoned two

newborn babies in the space of three

years because she was too ashamed to

tell relatives she was pregnant out

of wedlock.

Bronagh Bond, 27, dumped her daughters

Holly and Angel in the street and ignored

repeated police appeals for their mother to

come forward.

In April last year police realised both

babies' DNA was a close match to a man

already on their database.

After approaching his family they established

he had four sisters and asked to take

a DNA swab from each of the women.

Only then did Bond finally confess she

was the mother of both babies.

Yesterday she walked free from court after

admitting two counts of child cruelty.

Liverpool Crown Court heard how she was already a single mother when she discovered she was pregnant in March 2003.

But, with her relationship with the child's

father breaking down, she couldn't cope

with raising another child alone.

She left the five-day-old baby girl, named

Holly by nurses, near a block of flats close

to her home in Walton, Liverpool, at 7am on

Christmas Eve.

Two years later, in November 2005, Bond

discovered she was pregnant again after a

holiday romance in Turkey.

Bond dumped baby Angel, then aged four

weeks, on a path in Stanley Park, close to

Everton FC's Goodison Park stadium.

She was found by a passer-by on July 29,

2006.

Her head was resting on a plastic bag

containing a bottle of milk, clothes and an

emotional three page hand-written note

from Bond.

It read: "I'm truly sorry. I will love you with

all my heart forever and ever."

Charlotte Kenny, defending, said Bond

"blanked out" her pregnancy with Holly and

felt no emotional attachment when the

child was born.

When Bond found out she was pregnant

with Angel she dreaded telling her family,

Miss Kenny added.

"She found the prospect of their reaction

too much to bear," she said.

Holly has since been adopted and Angel is

in foster care, the court heard.

Sentencing Bond to a two-year community

order, Judge Henry Globe QC told her:

"It is fortunate that neither child has been

physically adversely affected. How they

might be mentally, only time will tell."
