A baby has been taken to a hospital for observation after being found abandoned in Mesa.
The incident began to unfold at around 11:00 a.m.
Data from a National Weather Service weather station located near the scene, in an area to the east of Brown and Recker Roads, reveal that temperatures in the area at the time of the incident was 108°F, with a heat index temperature of 112°F. "Our best guess, based off of what we’ve been told, is the baby’s got to be a day old or younger," said Det. Encinas."Luckily it ended OK for the baby this time, but it could’ve been a much worse situation with the heat out here today. It’s really hot today," said Det. Encinas."I was going to lunch and went to get in my truck and I saw the cop. I had no idea what for, but I did see another couple police units in that area," said one area resident.
"It's disgusting how people can do that," said Mathew Farnsworth, who also works in the area. "The world is in a bad spot right now."
