Police Don't Think They'll Charge The Mother Of Allegedly Abandoned Baby

The Canadian Press, 17 Jan, 2018 12:46 PM
    Toronto police say they don't believe they'll lay charges against the mother of a newborn baby boy who was allegedly abandoned Tuesday morning outside a commercial building.
     
    Const. David Hopkinson says the mother is receiving medical care, but declined to provide further details.
     
     
    Police say they received a call just before 11 a.m. from someone claiming to be a passerby who found the infant behind a plaza in the city's west end.
     
     
    They initially said they received reports that the baby was found naked on the ground outside the building.
     
     
    They say a passerby claimed to have put clothing on the boy and brought him to a safe indoor area before calling police.
     
     
    Police say the investigation is ongoing.
