“We have been searching for the baby girl’s mother, father or someone who may have information about this child,” said Eric R. Hewett, Chesterfield Chief of Police. “While this does not appear to qualify under Daniel’s Law for lawful surrender of the baby, we do want to find the child’s parents or anyone who has knowledge about this little girl. I encourage anyone who has information about this matter to contact us at 843-623-2419.”
The baby, 2 or 3 days old, did not appear to have been born at a medical facility, based on the condition of the belly button and lack of a heel stick test.
