December 31st 2024.
It was a cold December day in the Bronx when a newborn baby girl was found abandoned in a tote bag on the doorstep of a brick house. The police were immediately called and the public was urged to help find the mother of the child. The New York Daily News reported that a neighbor had heard crying coming from the bag and quickly alerted authorities.
Mamadou Hafiz Jallow, the neighbor who found the baby, recalled the moment he discovered her. "I didn't want to tamper with any evidence, but it was just too cold. I picked up the baby and brought her inside my house where it was warm," he told PIX11. Despite being estimated to be only five days old, the baby miraculously survived the harsh New York winter. She was then taken to Jacobi Medical Center and is currently in stable condition.
The search for the woman who left the baby on the doorstep continues, as it is illegal in New York to abandon a child under one month old. The Abandoned Infant Protection Act states that the child must be left in a safe place and the location must be disclosed to someone. But in this case, the woman left the baby in a tote bag on a random doorstep, just a few doors away from a nonprofit that specializes in health services.
The police have released surveillance footage in hopes of identifying the woman responsible for abandoning the child. The video shows a woman in the area carrying the same green tote that the baby was found in. However, her face was covered with a black mask and she was wearing a black coat, making it difficult to identify her. Despite this, authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information that could lead to the woman's identity and shed light on the child's abandonment.
If you have any information regarding this case, please submit tips to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. This is a heartbreaking and tragic situation, and we must all come together to find answers and ensure the safety and well-being of this innocent child. In related news, a recent incident where Google Maps mistakenly routed a vehicle off a demolished bridge, resulting in the death of three security guards, serves as a reminder to always double-check and be cautious when using technology. Let's all do our part in preventing such tragedies from happening again.
