Police said Spaights, 41, left the shelter on Summit Ave. in the Bronxs Highbridge section on Monday. When shelter workers realized she hadnt signed into the building for three days, they went into the room on Friday. They found Spaights infant son all alone under a bed, officials said.
A telephone cord was wrapped around the childs neck but investigators arent sure if the mom placed it there or if he became entangled after she left, sources said.
The severely malnourished tot was taken to Lincoln Hospital, where he was recovering Saturday.
