According to Child Protective Services, a 1-month-old boy was placed with relatives after his teenage mother was arrested in San Antonio after she was accused of leaving him with a woman she had just met at a bus stop.
The baby’s mother was charged with abandoning and endangering a child with intent to return, according to Bexar County Court records, and a judge set her bail at $7,000.
Police said the incident happened late in the morning on September 13, after the mother approached the woman at a downtown bus stop and asked if she could borrow her phone to make a call. The woman commented that the baby was beautiful, and the mother reportedly handed over her infant son.
