Sure, they have a gigantic salad bar and all, but we don’t recommend Ruby Tuesday as an appropriate place to abandon your child.

According to police, employees of the restaurant at 50 Shunpike Road called police after they found the infant alone in a booth in the dining area. Police eventually were able to locate the father, Andrew Yu, 32, of Hemlock Court. Police would not say where they found Yu or how long he was away from the infant.

Yu was charged with leaving a child unsupervised in a place of public accommodation. He was released from police custody after posting a $500 non-surety bond, meaning he did not have to put up any cash or other collateral. Yu is scheduled to appear Tuesday at Middletown Superior Court.

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?
