A 6-month-old girl was taken to a hospital after reportedly being left with employees at a Jiffy Lube in Cobb County, Georgia.

The shop’s assistant manager called 911 immediately after a woman, believed to be the child’s mother, allegedly walked away from the business and left the baby and stroller with the employees. The woman had reportedly asked the assistant manager and another employee to care for the baby while she took care of something. She also mentioned paperwork inside a bag and said the workers could keep the child if she did not come back.

The assistant manager reported that she had seen the woman walking near the business before, but they had never spoken. The woman had reportedly arrived at the service bay while the assistant manager was starting her shift. She asked the two employees whether they thought the baby was cute, and they said she was. After the woman left, the assistant manager checked on the infant and found that the baby had a soaked diaper and rashes on her neck and body.

On Friday, the parents of two young boys who authorities allege tried to trade their children for money, or possibly drugs, have entered a plea of no contest to charges of felony attempted child abandonment.

Lancaster residents Vincent Calogero and Sarah Nilson, the parents of two toddlers, were reportedly under the influence of a controlled substance when they began offering the children to strangers.
