A WOMAN and her parents have appeared in court accused of kidnapping a baby.

Jodie Little and her mother and father Jane and Keith Little appeared before magistrates in Huddersfield and were all remanded in custody.

The three appeared at Kirklees Magistrates’ Court yesterday, accused of kidnapping the 11-month-old girl on March 12.

The baby cannot be identified for legal reasons.

Little, 23, faces a further allegation of affray.

The Huddersfield court was told that Little, of Dyson Street, Dalton, allegedly took the child during a pre-arranged meeting with staff at a Kirklees Social Services building in Crosland Moor.

Police found the baby just before 9am on Wednesday, March 14 – two days after the child was taken.

District Judge Marie remanded all three in custody and told them that they face trial at Bradford Crown Court.

They will appear for a Crown Court hearing on March 23.
