An Atlanta woman faces charges of cruelty to children for allegedly leaving her hours-old baby girl on a stranger's front porch, police said.
She told officers that she did not know she could legally leave the baby at a safe haven location such as a hospital. "God woke me up and said, 'Go up front,'" she told the outlet."So that's how I went up front and saw the baby crying." Police body camera video released by authorities showed an officer speaking with two emergency medical technicians as the baby cried in the background. One of the first responders told the officer the baby girl appeared to be only five hours old.
