Police: Woman who reported abandoned baby in Beltsville was actually the mother A day after police mounted a search for the mother of a newborn who had reportedly been abandoned outdoors, the woman who said she found the infant on her street acknowledged that she was in fact the baby's mother, police said. On Wednesday, Prince George's County police said that the infant, who appeared to be just a few hours old, had been left outside in the 12600 block of Shoals Creek Terrace in Beltsville. A neighbor heard the baby crying, found her outside and called 911, they said. Police asked for tips from the public as they tried to locate the baby's mother, and media widely shared the photograph of the newborn girl, who was in good health, according to police. Police said that many people contacted them to say they were interested in adopting the infant. On Thursday, police again interviewed the woman who had originally reported finding the baby. This time, she said that she was the girl's mother, police said in a news release. The woman said that she had given birth in her home a few hours before calling 911. She was overwhelmed, and called police, she told officers. The baby was in fact never outdoors, police said. The mother is receiving medical care and will not face criminal charges at this time, police said. The infant is in the custody of Child Protective Services. Attempts to reach the woman Thursday were unsuccessful. Lynh Bui contributed to this report.
