Baby Girl Found In Shoebox Outside New York Home

BRENTWOOD, N.Y. (CBS/AP) — Police say a 6-week-old baby girl was left in a shoebox on the porch of a Long Island, New York home.

Police say a 14-year-old boy who lives at the home was first to hear the baby's cries. He found her in the shoebox wrapped in a pink blanket, with a bottle of formula.

The teenager's family called police.

The baby was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors say she's in good health.

Authorities notified Child Protective Services.

On Saturday, authorities still didn't know who was responsible for abandoning the child two days earlier outside the house.
