A mother who left her newborn baby in a manger in a nativity scene in a New York church has been found and will not be charged, officials say.
CHR Comment: New York has a law that allows babies to be left at churches anonymously. However, the mother was supposed to present the child to someone rather than leave it in the manger of a nativity scene. This story illustrates the long standing role of churches as havens of mercy.
