Overview

• Police responding to a C2 Poniente alert found the infant on avenida Jalisco at Periférico and provided immediate care, including warming the child and buying clothing, a bottle and formula.
• Cruz Roja paramedics diagnosed mild hypothermia and transferred the baby to a hospital, where the child is reported under protection of authorities.
• Video from city surveillance showed a woman and a man leaving the infant and exiting via Metro Tacubaya, enabling targeted patrols to trace the pair.
• Officers detained María Nicolasa and Francisco Rea, who admitted abandoning the child, and presented them to the Ministerio Público to determine custody, locate relatives and assess potential charges.
• Outlets cite the CDMX offense of abandoning an incapacitated person as the probable charge, and report a separate newborn abandonment at Metro UAM-I that police are now investigating.
