A Georgia family and local sheriff's deputy are opening up about the"emotional" moment they rescued an unidentified baby girl who was abandoned in a plastic shopping bag.
The baby, temporarily named India, was found in good condition in a somewhat isolated, wooded area of Forsyth County on the night of June 6, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office."When we were able to pick her up, wrap her up, get her a little warm, I was able to talk to her a little bit," Forsyth Sheriff's Deputy Terry Roper, who was the first to the scene, told"Good Morning America" on Wednesday.
"I wanted to give her comfort," he said."A little bit later I realized it was the first time she had felt love, and I felt honored to be able to give her that."The sheriff's office said Wednesday that she's"thriving and is in the care of the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services."The Ragatz sisters were unloading a trailer outside their house when Kyler Ragatz said she heard what she thought was a cat.
The sheriff's office on Tuesday released some body camera footage from the scene in the hopes of getting information on India's identity. In the video, the crying baby is heard as responders rush to help. The deputies take her out of the plastic bag and scoop her up into a makeshift blanket as little India wraps her hand around an officer's finger.Georgia's Safe Haven Law allows a mother up to 30 days after birth to leave a baby with an individual at a hospital, a fire station, a police station or sheriff's station, the sheriff said.
