Acting DI Heffernan added: “I know that this matter has caused a lot of concern in the community and that it is being discussed on various social media and group chats.
“At the heart of this is a young child. Their family not only have a right to privacy, but the child is also granted anonymity under the law so we ask people to respect this.”
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 101, quoting reference CAD4666/19Apr.
