The court was told the mother concealed the baby's presence from her siblings by hiding her in the drawer of her divan bed, and kept her secret from her partner, who often stayed at the house.

So no-one else in the house knew? That seems unlikely.

Especially considering she says she never closed the drawer??

Even if she kept the kids out, her partner can't have missed it, even if the it's a lie about leaving the drawer open. After all, a visitor heard the child from downstairs.
