18-Year-Old Mom Charged After Handing Baby to Stranger at Bus Stop
In downtown San Antonio, 18-year-old Karla Ibarra allegedly handed her one-month-old son to a stranger at a bus stop and later left with an Uber; she was arrested on charges of abandoning and endangering a child with intent to return, and the baby was placed with relatives. The incident occurs in the context of Texas' Baby Moses Law, which allows willing parents to surrender unharmed newborns at designated locations without criminal penalties.
