Glad to hear the baby will be ok. I found this statement is the article disturbing. Where were they?

The parents weren’t there when police arrived at the scene. A Good Samaritan brought the baby to the hospital.

Possibly traveling to the hospital along with the baby?

It says a good samaritan brought the baby to the hospital.

I’m sure more details will emerge, hopefully anyway. This is terrible.

Comments on the linked article say parents were located 1 1/2 miles away and possibly flex because they have active warrants.

But, seriously?!

Whoa. I don't recall a case like this before. Usually people like this (who fear LE) abandon their child at the hospital, IMO.
