Emmerdale spoilers: Dawn saves sleeping child in dog bed | soaps

Clemmie has been neglected by Beth’s boyfriend (Pictures: ITV)

Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) reluctantly attended her boyfriend’s funeral in Emmerdale tonight.

She was hesitant because Beth was a friend from Dawn’s past, full of drug addictions and dangerous men.

After talking to Kim (Claire King) of all people, Dawn decided she would go and ran into Jade, another friend who was definitely more focused on scoring than saying goodbye to Beth.

Dawn then found herself back at Jade’s house and went into the kitchen to grab a beer.

Jade’s house was in a sorry state. It was dark, dirty, and when Dawn accidentally kicked a water bowl, she ran into a young girl sleeping in a dog bed.

The young girl, Clemmie, had no clean clothes on and her hair was disheveled – she had been badly neglected.

Dawn found out Clemmie was Beth’s daughter and didn’t even know her mother had passed away.

Dawn felt terrible for Clemmie and angrily confronted Jade, who didn’t care at all about the young girl.

After a scary confrontation with Jade and an untrustworthy fellow, Dawn grabbed Clemmie and returned to the village.

Fortunately, Billy (Jay Kontzle) agreed to let Clemmie stay overnight, but he knew calling social services was best.

But will Dawn agree that Clemmie needs to go to the shelter?

Or can she try to take care of her?
