Earlier this month, a baby girl was found alive in a plastic bag in the US state of Georgia.
Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office (FSCO) have now released footage from the body camera that was worn by the first FCSO Deputy that arrived on the scene that night.
The baby, now named India, was discovered on the side of the road.
In an effort to find credible information on the identity of the child, police have released the footage.
In a post to their official Facebook page, the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said that they are “continuing to aggressively investigate and to follow leads regarding Baby India. As of today, we are still receiving tips from across the country on the possible identity of Baby India.
“We are happy to report that Baby India is thriving and is in the care of the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
“We are releasing parts of the footage from the body camera worn by the first FCSO Deputy on scene the night Baby India was discovered, Thursday, 6 June, 2019. We release this footage in hopes to receive credible information on the identity of Baby India and to show how important it is to find closure in this case.”
The authorities also reiterated that the state of Georgia does have a Safe Haven law in place.
Essentially, this law allows a child’s mother to leave her baby, up to 30 days old, with an employee of any medical facility without fear of prosecution.
These institutions include any hospital, institutional infirmary, or health centre in the state.
Below is the footage from the body camera that was worn by police when they discovered the baby.
