Baby+left+behind

Matthew Sordiff, 21, of Somersworth, N.H., allegedly took items, hiding them in a diaper bag. A store employee attempted to restrain Sordiff as he left the store, according the Fosters Daily Democrat. Sordiff then took his three-month-old out of the stroller in which she was riding and put her in a car seat on the ground. Then, Sordiff fled the scene. He was later arrested and told police he panicked when he was approached with the items. Sordiff's family was quick to defend him, saying that he was afraid because he had warrants and thought the girl's mother was still in the store. "My son is a very good father," his mother, Carla Bickford, said. "Matt got scared and he ran because he thought he had warrants he never took care of." Sordiff was held on $1 bail on charges of child endangerment and stealing. The child's mother was also arrested in connection with the theft
