Officials in northern Georgia said they are searching for the mother of a newborn baby discovered in the woods.

The baby was quickly located by deputies when they arrived on the scene. The newborn was found inside a plastic bag, according to the report.

The report said officials are now calling the baby India. She was hospitalized and is in stable condition as of June 7.

A Georgia Division of Family and Children Services representative was sent to the hospital and is acting as the girl’s advocate, Sabella said.

The sheriff’s office is now trying to identify the baby, who is white, to locate her mother.

The case is currently under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit, the Georgia Sun reported.

Officials are asking anyone who knew of a woman in the late stages of her pregnancy who may have recently given birth. They can call 770-781-3087 to reach the sheriff’s department.

In the rescue, deputies were called to the 1900 block of Daves Creek Road in Forsyth County.

Newborn Baby Found in Field

A newborn baby girl was found covered in mosquito and ant bites after she was dumped in a field in Thailand, it was reported.

The girl was heard crying at night. Locals thought the noise was something else before they discovered her the next morning near Bangkok, the Daily Mail reported on May 23.

The girl was discovered on May 11.

Upon discovery, the girl’s skin looked raw and painful after she was bitten by the insects and was exposed to the elements in the field.

Officials said the child didn’t sustain serious injuries, but they added that her forehead was bitten frequently by insects, the Mail reported.
