From CBS News: A newborn baby girl was found unattended at a New York City subway station during the morning rush in Manhattan, police said.
The NYPD said the child was discovered wrapped in a sheet at around 9:30 a.m. Monday on the steps leading down to the southbound 1, 2 and 3 trains at the 34th Street and 7th Avenue stop at Penn Station.
The girl was conscious, alert and did not appear to have any injuries, police said. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
Police said there was no sign of the baby’s mother. Investigators are now reviewing surveillance video from inside the station to determine who may have left the child.
The report explains that it is a felony to abandon a child under the age of 14, but under New York State’s Abandoned Infant Protection Act, a parent is allowed to abandon a newborn baby up to 30 days of age anonymously, if the child is left in a safe space, like a fire station, police station or hospital, and in a safe manner.
