Woman Leaves Baby on Subway Platform.
BALDWIN: New York subway riders got quite a shock when they saw this woman push a baby stroller from the subway as the doors were opening, leaving this baby, and jumped on the departing train. When the woman didn't return for some 20 minutes, witnesses then called police. The baby girl's mother has just been arrested. And CNN national correspondent, Susan Candiotti, is live on this for us from New York. What charges is she facing?</s>SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yeah, thank goodness the little baby is OK, Brooke.</s>BALDWIN: Thank goodness.</s>CANDIOTTI: Absolutely. Frankia Dabbs is her name. She's only 20 years old herself. And she's charged with two counts. One is a felony charge of abandoned her child, and the other is a misdemeanor charge of what is called acting in a manner injurious to a child. Fortunately, the little girl is OK. She's in the hospital now, in the care of child services at the moment. Police say she is not malnourished and looks like she'll be all right.</s>BALDWIN: What do we know about this mother?</s>CANDIOTTI: Interesting past. We were able to contact some relatives of hers. They say she is from Roanoke Rapids in North Carolina. And her aunt tells us she thinks she may have gotten a ride to New York City just last week, that she had been staying with her aunt, but her aunt tells us she had moved out, concerned that some people were looking for her and she didn't want them showing up at her aunt's house. We also heard something else pretty disturbing from her relative who says that when this young mother was pregnant last year, she witnessed the murder of the baby's father. Clearly, she has a troubled past, and it may have wound up with her abandoning her child. Police obviously have a lot more investigating to do, but police say they had to charge her, of course, for leaving her child on that subway platform. And thank goodness someone came forward and stayed with the baby until it was clear the mom wasn't coming back. That's when police were called.</s>BALDWIN: Did you mention this? Who has custody of the child now? Where is this baby girl?</s>CANDIOTTI: Child Protective Services. Right now, the baby is in the hospital.</s>BALDWIN: OK. Susan, thank you so much. And we roll on. Hour two. You're watching CNN. I'm Brooke Baldwin.
