Samoan mother accused of leaving baby down Sydney drain has 'boy, 5, living in New Zealand'

She is the woman accused of dumping her day-old baby down a drain and leaving him to die.But the 30-year-old is also a loving auntie who adores children and appears entirely devoted to her family in Australia and Samoa.One of her social media accounts - filled with pictures of babies and young relatives - suggests that she became increasingly clucky as her pregnancy progressed.It is a stark contrast with the savage act with which she is charged, the attempted murder of her baby boy, who miraculously survived five days in a concrete stormwater drain off a Sydney motorway.And the woman, the daughter of a Seventh Day Adventist pastor, appears to have another son - a five-year-old who lives in New Zealand.Postings on social media in the days after she dumped her son, but before the baby was found and alleged crime was detected, show her posing and looking pretty in a dress but also experiencing post-natal tiredness.A family friend has told Daily Mail Australia that the young woman - who goes by an anglicised nickname and works in western Sydney - \loves children and is very good with children\.According to police, the woman had been living with her aunt and uncle in Quakers Hill in Sydney's west when she became pregnant and kept her condition secret for nine months.Miraculous survivalAfter giving birth to a healthy baby boy in a western Sydney hospital at 1am on Tuesday of last week, she discharged herself early that afternoon and, police allege, took her baby and placed him in a stormwater drain around 500m from her home.The baby was apparently put through a small opening under the concrete slab over the drain and fell the 2.5m drop to the bottom.Five days later, last Sunday morning, David Otte and his daughter Hayley, heard a crying sound coming from a drain as they cycled on the M5 motorway and, thinking it was a kitten, discovered the baby boy miraculously alive.Police from Quakers Hill Local Area Command retrieved the baby, which was wrapped in a pink striped blanket, from the drain.The drain was covered by a concrete slab which weighed over 200kg and took six people to lift, including two police officers who had arrived at the scene.The baby had blood on his head and was taken to hospital where it was found he was severely dehydrated and had bleeding on the brain.Police tracked down the woman and charged her on Sunday evening.The son of the Seventh Day Adventist pastor who leads the church where the woman and her family are members told Daily Mail Australia his father had spoken to her in prison on Wednesday.He said she \was trying to keep on top of things\ while incarcerated in a Sydney jail, believed to be Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre.He described her as a \very happy person\ who was \very good around children and young people at the church\.He said that she was \a quiet girl\ but that \she's an island girl
