HOUSTON — The baby who was found alone at a southwest Houston apartment complex has been identified, according to police.
A family member reportedly called detectives to positively identify the baby who they said is just 12 months old.
Police said they are working to locate the mom and dad of the baby. At this time, neither is wanted for a crime.
The baby was found alone Tuesday at an apartment on Wilcrest Drive near Kinney Road.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services said the boy was taken to Texas Children's Hospital when he was found with minor injuries to his mouth. He was checked out and found to be unharmed and in good shape.
The hospital kept the baby with hopes a family member or caretaker would come to get him, but no one showed up and the baby was left unidentified.
The baby is now in temporary foster care until his parents are located.
A court hearing is expected Thursday in which an emergency affidavit would be filed regarding the child's care and custody, DFPS officials said.
