More on that baby

Gulfnews: Mother of 'illegal' infant arrested
A mother whose infant daughter was declared an illegal resident in Sharjah was arrested on Monday by the Sharjah Naturalisation and Residency Department (SNRD) on a charge of submitting forged documents. She was released hours later on condition she would return to the department on Tuesday with a guarantor's passport.

Her infant daughter Nayana, 18 months, had to spend the day at baby care awaiting the release of her mother who was still in SNRD custody.

The babysitter told Gulf News that she didn't know what to do with the baby who cried all the time.

I like the personal detail at the end.

It's not clear from the rest of the story as to whether there was anything improper at all in the documents she produced.

It's a great way for a nation to attract foreign workers.
