A mother has been charged, and activists are demanding baby boxes be installed in fire stations after a newborn was found along Austin Highway. SAN ANTONIO-Now a follow-up on a baby found abandoned Tuesday night, near Salado Creek Greenway. The baby is in the care of Child Protective Services, but the mother Julie Alexander is charged with Child Abandonment. But, the discovery raises questions about why it happened.
Pamela Allen, President and CEO of Eagle’s Flight says, “None have been put out so far not one safe receptacle, baby box, whatever you want to call them.” “We've been kicking around ideas with some of our city leaders about the Baby Moses law on bus stops, doing a QR code having some more information out there,” says Allen.
“I think the relief for me was knowing the baby was still alive and that the umbilical cord was attached and thinking, here's one that doesn't have to be charged with murder, here's one where she may be charged with abandonment thank God that baby is alive,” says Allen.
