PEARL RIVER, La. (AP) — A newborn baby boy was reported hospitalized in stable but critical condition on Wednesday after the child was found wrapped in a towel and blanket in a backyard.
St. Tammany Parish sheriff’s deputies said they have obtained arrest warrants for Kimberly Lee, 35, on charges of second-degree cruelty to a juvenile and child desertion.
“This is one of those cases that really defy logic,” said Sheriff Jack Strain.
