Abandoned baby

Darien police questioning woman about baby abandoned at Walgreens

December 08, 2011|By Joseph Ruzich | Special to the Tribune

Darien police are interviewing a woman who they say left a baby in a shopping cart inside a Walgreen’s drug store this morning.

Officers were dispatched to the store in the 7500 block of South Cass Avenue at 8:15 a.m. after the woman spoke to a clerk and left without the child, according to police.

Deputy Chief Cooper John Cooper said the woman later called 911 on her cell phone and told police that someone took her baby from a restaurant in another town.

Cooper said police decided to check the restaurant right across the street from the Walgreens and found the woman there.

It was still unclear if the woman was the baby’s mother, Cooper said.

Has this horrible person been charged with the abandonment?

Why did this story fade away so easily? Fade away in these days of abandonment and missing person stories being big sellers for the news people?

So just what is going on with this case and who is this horrible person?

I was recently thinking about that happening. I wondered why I heard nothing more.

I hope the baby is alright. The thought of a mother abandoning such a small child is horrible.

I heard that she tried to conceal the baby in a shopping cart with store merchandise.

Prayers for the child and obviously disturbed woman.

Hopefully the child is safe and in better hands.

That right - there is no place to hide.

Self centered, drug using, thieving, coniving and always manipulting.

Her Mom enables her. Her stepdad wants nothing to do with her. Her own Father no longer acknowledges her.
