In addition, 200 families were already on the waiting list to adopt in the state. India is currently in a temporary home. Tom Rawlings, director of the state&#8217;s Division of Family&#8217;s and Children Services, said she is a &#8220;precious, beautiful&#8221; baby, who &#8220;likes being held,&#8221; is &#8220;smiling a lot,&#8221; and is &#8220;actually doing really well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>6\/25\/19<\/strong>: Live Action News <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/safe-haven-laws-newborn-alive-plastic-bag\/\">previously reported<\/a> on a story about a newborn baby girl&#8217;s rescue from a plastic grocery bag on June 6, 2019, in rural Forsyth County, Georgia. Law enforcement has now released video from the rescuing officer&#8217;s body camera in the hope of learning the identity of the baby girl, whom officials refer to as &#8220;India.&#8221;\u00a0The baby girl was found after neighbors heard her crying, and is said to be in good health. Fox5 Atlanta <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox5atlanta.com\/news\/body-cam-video-released-of-baby-found-abandoned-in-woods\">reported<\/a> on the amazing video.<\/p>\n<p>One resident who heard the child said he thought it was an animal, but his children believed it was a baby.

Had it not been for those observant folks who are our citizens who called 911, we would be having a much different conversation today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of abandonment not only illegal; it is entirely unnecessary. More effort must be made to make panicked young women aware that every U.S. state has a Baby Safe Haven law, which allows parents to leave newborns anonymously with hospital staff or first responders, no questions asked, within a certain amount of days. In <a href=\"http:\/\/safehaven.tv\/states\/georgia\/\">Georgia<\/a>, where &#8220;India&#8221; was found, this website states that a child may be left with personnel at a hospital, medical facility, birthing center, or health center, within seven days of birth. Learn about your state&#8217;s safe haven laws <a href=\"http:\/\/safehaven.tv\/states\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement is seeking the public&#8217;s help with information regarding baby &#8220;India.&#8221; If you have information, please contact the\u00a0Forsyth County Sheriff&#8217;s Office&#8217;s tip line at 770-888-7308.
