A Montreal woman who left a toddler unattended in an apartment where a fire broke out in August 2017, has pleaded guilty to several charges.
The charges include unlawfully abandoning a child, criminal negligence causing a fire and obstructing police work.
Josee Milot, 50, was sentenced on Monday to 10-and-a-half months behind bars, but her sentence is considered served because she has been detained since last August.
