Georgia deputies released body camera footage Tuesday of the moment first responders found a newborn baby alive abandoned in a plastic bag in the woods.
Authorities found the baby girl in a wooded area in Cumming, Georgia, after a 911 call came in around 10 p.m. on June 6, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. Baby India, as she has been named by authorities, is"thriving" and in the care of a foster care approved by the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services.
In the video released Tuesday, a deputy ripped open a plastic bag to reveal India still covered in fluids and an umbilical cord attached. India was then wrapped in cloth and given first aid by paramedics before being taken to a local hospital.Authorities found a newborn baby girl in a plastic bag abandoned on June 6 in a wooded area in Cumming, Georgia, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office released video of deputies finding the newborn in the hopes that it would help lead to"credible information" on the baby's identity. The department reminded the public on Tuesday that Georgia does have a Safe Haven law to ensure babies can be properly cared for. "This law allows a child's mother to leave her baby, up to 30 days old, with an employee of any medical facility including any hospital, institutional infirmary, health center or birthing center in Georgia without prosecution," Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said.
