The mother of the newborn baby found abandoned on a street in Torre del Mar has been placed under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Prosecutor and has been charged with abandonment.
The baby, still with umbilical cord and part of the placenta attached, was found on Sunday morning in calle Cuesta del Visillo in Torre del Mar. A bag of clothes was also found with the baby.
The mother, a minor, was located by the National Police and is now in the same hospital as her daughter. She is under observation in the Neonatal Unit although she is said to be in good health.
The girl apparently hid her pregnancy from her family and gave birth alone, subsequently abandoning the baby.
