A one-month-old baby was found abandoned in a car seat on Christmas morning, prompting a search that led to the arrest of the child's parents.
Two people have been arrested and are facing charges of felony child abuse after a one-month-old baby was discovered in the median of a road Christmas morning. The Adams County Sheriff's Office said the baby was left sitting in a car seat in the median near 7490 Pecos St. wearing only a diaper. Authorities said they received a 911 call around 9:30 a.m. Christmas morning from someone who discovered the abandoned baby .
'We are hoping someone recognizes the car seat or knows something about the baby or family so he can be reunited with his loved ones and the person who abandoned him can be brought to justice,' said ACSO. A social worker is with the baby at Children's Hospital Colorado, where he is under observation as a precaution. Authorities said they don't yet know when he was left in the median, and the baby had no visible injuries. The sheriff's department provided an update around 4:30 p.m. thanking the public for helping to locate the baby's family. 'As an update, our investigators have been in contact with the family members of the infant and are continuing the investigation and will pursue criminal charges if deemed appropriate,' said the ACSO. Just after 8:30 p.m., the sheriff's office announced they had arrested the child's parents, Jarvis Sims and Christina Thurman. Both are facing felony child abuse charges in connection with the case
