Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
PRIBAM, Czech Republic, March 12 (UPI) -- Police in the western Czech Republic city of Pribam searched Friday for the mother of a days-old girl found abandoned in a snow bank.
A passerby called police after finding the infant wearing only thin clothes outside a parking garage, the CTK news agency reported.
The 6-pound girl was suffering from hypothermia, but was expected to recover fully, hospital officials said.
The temperature was around freezing and it was snow in much of the country, the report said.
Police used sniffer dogs to look for traces of who left the baby in the snow. If found and convicted of abandonment, the mother could face a five-year prison sentence, police said.
Hospital spokeswoman Monika Bouskova told CTK the hospital established its so-called baby box years ago so mothers could anonymously drop off unwanted babies without endangering their infants.
