Well, we have to admit this way of abandoning a baby is certainly “creative”. A man in Queens, New York, flagged down a black “car for hire” (we’re assuming that means a limo or Town Car), got in with his 6-month-old baby, and after riding a few minutes he asked the driver to stop at which point he took off running leaving the infant girl behind.

The driver immediately took the infant to a firehouse in Corona, the police arrived and the baby was taken to St. John’s Queens Hospital, where she was in good condition.

Officials said the child had not been harmed. They had not identified her or her parents and had not determined whether the man who left her was a relative.

The police said the city’s Administration for Children’s Services would eventually take custody of the infant.
