An abandoned newborn has been found not far from a Southern California mall, and authorities believe a woman who said she witnessed the birth is the mother of the child.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's officials said a passer-by who was looking
for recycling items in Lakewood discovered the baby girl lying on the
grass Sunday morning. He took her to a fire station and she was
transferred to a hospital in stable condition.
Authorities said when deputies responded to the scene, a 35-year-old
woman approached them and said she had helped the mother cut the
umbilical cord.
During questioning, detectives noticed the woman was bleeding and took
her to the hospital. There, doctors examined the woman and concluded
that she recently gave birth.
Results from a DNA test are pending.
