Anne Arundel
County Police said in a statement that the infant, who is in
good condition and in the custody of social services, was found
in the Baltimore-area city of Pasadena after someone called to
report the baby girl late on July 4th.
Police said the mother, identified by police as 26-year-old
Sandra McClary of Baltimore, came forward on Sunday after seeing
reports on social media. McClary told police the father was
supposed to have the baby and she did not know where the infant
was.
Police said detectives later determined that she removed the
baby from the car and left her on the side of the road. McClary
has been charged with child neglect and reckless endangerment,
police said.
The investigation into the case remains ongoing. The baby was
treated at a local hospital for dehydration.
