Denver baby found dead in basket
Couldn’t this “mother” have walked a few more steps and brought the infant inside? Colorado has a “safe haven” law, where you can surrender your to a hospital or fire station within 72 hours of birth without prosecution.
Denver Police were looking for the person Wednesday who left a newborn girl in a basket outside of a hospital. The baby died.
Police say they found the body at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center located at 19th and Franklin. it happened at about 8:00 p.m. Tuesday.
Police say someone pressed an emergency call button outside the facility. A security guard went to check, and found the newborn girl laying in a basket.
The guard took the baby inside, where she was pronounced dead.
Investigators said they did not know if the baby was already dead when she was left outside of the hospital, or if she died afterward.
Investigators are treating this case as a murder. They ask anyone who may know something or who may have seen who left the baby to call them.
Now how come this case is being considered a murder, but the one where the mother dumped her baby in a garbage can isn’t?
