Nassau County police have found the mother of the baby abandoned in a Hempstead building lobby; Newsday reports the police arrested Xiomara Gamez, 25, "on charges of reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child and abandonment of a child." The baby girl was found by a building resident on Sunday night and appeared to be less than a day old. She was wrapped in a blanket and left in a Timberland shoebox, with dental floss tied around her umbilical cord. Gamez will be arraigned today. NY State does have a Safe Haven law that allows parents of unwanted babies to leave them in safe places; safe havens are hospitals, police stations and firehouses.





least the mom wasnt 16. silver lining?
Im sure the courts in their infinite wisdom will do the right thing for the child and mandate that the kid placed back with the wonderful mother.
Hopefully not if she's in prison. If convicted, her sentence can range from 1 1/2 to 3 years. But yeah, they'll probably do something really stupid like hand her off to the grandparents until mommy get out of the clink.
Wow, they actually found the mom? Amazing. Now get a translator in there and find out what the story is with a 25-year old who abandons her baby.
Was she wearing Timberlands?
because no one who speaks English would abandon a baby? Racist drek.
She can afford Timberland shoes but not a condom? Someone's priorities are a little screwed up.
a simple blowjob could have averted this.
holy cow!
she really does have to look into getting some condoms.
she has 6 other kids, all under age 8!
