ORLANDO, Fla. _ A mother left her newborn on Sunday in the hands of a stranger who was staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to the resort around 2:30 a.m. after a female guest reported that a woman handed her the infant while she was outside of the lobby, then left the area, said sheriff's office spokesman Jeff Williamson.
Reedy Creek Fire Rescue took the baby, who was in good health, to Florida Hospital Celebration Health.
Detectives later found the child's mother and took her to a facility "for evaluation and treatment," Williamson said. The Department of Children and Families is aware of the incident, he said.
