She is so cute! I am glad to hear she is in good health but who in the right mind will abandon an infant? I hope she is adopted into a loving home.

NEW YORK - An infant girl strapped in a car seat and abandoned in the back of a livery car on a bitterly cold day was declared in excellent health after she was dropped off at a firehouse by the quick-witted driver. Dressed all in pink, with a bow around her head, the brown-eyed, brown-haired baby giggled several times at a news conference Thursday afternoon, where officials introduced her and asked for help in finding her relatives.

NOw that is a interesting twist. I think the girl who is 14 should not be charged. Being a child herself it is hard to make the right decisions. Her parents and the father should be held more accountable. THe father should be charged with rape or what he did to this girl by taking her innocence away like that and forcing her into parenthood.
