This is terrible, i often wonder how things like this can even happen. what must this mother be going through?

good news they found the baby

An ailing 5-day-old girl, snatched from her mother by a woman who had posed as a hospital worker, has been found and is being evaluated at the University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, police and hospital officials said.

"This little baby is in remarkably good shape," said Lt. Roy Bassett, a Lubbock Police Department spokesman.

After a tip called in to police, Priscilla Nicole Maldonado was found unattended, lying in a car seat in a carport at a Lubbock condominium complex. Temperatures at the time were in the low 100s.

Police have arrested 33-year-old Stephanie Lynn Anderson Jones on kidnapping charges. According to Bassett, Jones could face additional charges, including endangerment.

Police were led to Jones and her husband after a tip from a caller in Amarillo, Bassett said. A detective called and asked the husband if his wife had recently had a baby. After police were given conflicting answers, they became suspicious and went to the condominium complex, where they found the baby.
