Mother arrested 4 years after newborn found alive in plastic bag in Georgia woods

A woman has been arrested in Georgia almost four years after a newborn baby was found abandoned in a plastic bag in a wooded area. The woman, who is believed to be the child's biological mother, has been charged with criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, reckless abandonment, cruelty to children in the first degree, and other charges. The investigation took thousands of hours and involved the use of familial DNA. The baby, named India, was found alive and healthy and is now in foster care. Georgia has a Safe Haven law, allowing a newborn up to 30 days old to be left at a medical facility, fire station, or police station without prosecution to the parents.
