Accompanied by a girl of about two to three years, a woman prowled the 2nd street of the Los Penocos urbanization, zone of Radial 10, the day on Thursday, until abandoning a baby that he was carrying inside a bag.

A flower box was the place he chose to leave the baby. PIn order not to arouse suspicion, he sat for about 15 minutes until he got up leaving the baby wrapped in a blue towel and a note: “Today he was born at 8:15, it’s a boy, it’s Juan.”

A worker at the building where they left the abandoned baby reported that he left around noon to have lunch, but on his return it was when he found a bundle in the flower box at the entrance of the house; he thought they were coats but realized there was a boy.

The masons who work in front of the building where the woman abandoned the newborn, indicated that they managed to see the woman with a little girl sitting in the garden, but they believed that she was waiting for someone to leave the place and they did not realize that she was carrying a baby.
