Newborn Baby Abandoned On Doorstep In Sub Zero Temperatures
The following article is from the Saskatoon Star Phoenix:
"A baby girl abandoned on a Saskatoon doorstep Saturday morning in cold and wind that could freeze flesh in minutes is in stable condition and good health, police said Sunday.
Now, police are asking the mother to come forward for her own well-being.
"We want to assure her that we are not going to throw the handcuffs on her and throw her in jail," said Saskatoon Police Service spokesperson Alyson Edwards.
"What we want to do is work with her to find out what happened. What were the circumstances leading to this? Hopefully it will come to a positive conclusion."
Ed and Lee Anderson discovered a baby girl wrapped in a towel and sleeping bag on the back doorstep of their Lawson Heights house after checking on their dog, who wouldn't stop barking.
The baby was born only two or three hours before she was found, Saskatoon police say.
At 10 a.m., when the couple found the baby, the temperature was -29 C and dropping to -39 C with the wind chill.
