The mother of a newborn boy found abandoned behind a Danbury, Connecticut, grocery store on Sunday has gone to police after authorities said they were looking for her.
Officers had been looking for her since they received a 911 call around 11:30 p.m. Sunday from someone who found the baby wrapped in women's clothing behind the grocery store at 397 Main St.
The newborn was taken to the hospital and police set out to find the mother, who they feared might need medical attention or could be the victim of a crime herself.
Police released photos of some of the articles of clothing found with the baby; markings on a blue T-shirt were integral in the investigation, police said.
The mother walked into the Danbury police station just after 12:30 a.m. Friday, and was taken to Danbury Hospital to be treated.
