Overview

• A BBC investigation featured Zoe Ward, who says she found her son propped in a baby bouncer “watching” cartoons at Amie Upton’s home, with another infant on a sofa.
• Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust says it barred Upton from its mortuaries and maternity wards in spring 2025 and has raised concerns with police, safeguarding services, regulators and the coroner.
• West Yorkshire Police say they examined two reports about Florrie’s Army since 2021 and identified no potential crimes after enquiries.
• Other parents report their babies were taken to Upton’s house without consent and not kept at appropriate temperatures, and the BBC says evidence shows cold-cot refrigeration was not consistently used.
• Upton says she has had only two complaints, denies wrongdoing, and says babies in her care were clean, loved and cooled using units and cots.
