A woman in the Bronx, New York, has been arrested for abandoning a newborn in a tote bag and leaving it on a city sidewalk in the early morning hours of December 29.<\/p>\n

Surveillance footage shows 26-year-old Delfina Galvez leaving the bag with the baby inside on the sidewalk near a residential building, and then walking away.<\/p>\n

A man who lives nearby told Local 12<\/a> he was contacted by a neighbor who alerted him that the sound of a crying baby was coming from the doorstep.<\/p>\n

“My next door neighbor [called] me, who lives in this house here. He said ‘Jallow, there’s a baby crying at your door,'” explained Mamadou Hafiz Jallow. Jallow rushed home and found the infant in the bag. “When I [opened] the blanket I [saw] a little baby blinking, the eyes shaking, the fingers very cold,” he said.<\/p>\n

After finding the infant, Jallow called 911. The little girl, who appeared to be only a few days old, was rushed to the hospital and is said to be in stable condition.<\/p>\n

Galvez turned herself into the police the day after the incident. She has been charged with reckless endangerment, acting in a manner injurious to a child, and abandonment of a child. Police did not offer a motive for the abandonment, but said<\/a> Galvez was the baby’s mother, and she lived very near the spot where she left the child.<\/p>\n

Like every state, New York has a ‘Safe Haven’ law that allows a parent to surrender their infant child if they feel unable to care for him or her. Rather than abandoning her infant on a city sidewalk, Galvez could have brought her to a hospital, staffed police station, or fire station and left the infant without fear of prosecution. New York’s Abandoned Infant Protection Act<\/a> allows the safe surrender of infants up to 30 days after birth.<\/p>\n
