On June 6, 2019, a newborn was rescued<\/a> from a plastic grocery bag on the side of a road in rural Georgia after people living nearby heard her crying. Now, four years later, the woman who abandoned the baby has been arrested.<\/p>\n

Body cam video from the day she was found shows the man whose children heard the baby crying helping the rescuing officer to save the baby, who still had her umbilical cord attached. She was inside a tied yellow plastic bag, which the officer ripped open. The heartbreaking video was released in hopes of gathering any information on the child and the child’s mother.<\/p>\n

On Friday<\/a>, an emotional Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman held a press conference to announce that 40-year-old Karima Jiwani had been arrested on charges of attempted murder, cruelty to children, aggravated assault, and reckless abandonment. She was identified through DNA.<\/p>\n
