How do police find out?
Police are often alerted to incidents by calls from the public, as happened in Sheffield when 'concerns were raised' for the baby's safety. This highlights the vital role of community vigilance. Other ways include direct observation, anonymous tips, or referrals from other agencies like hospitals or social services.
