   The mother who abandoned her newborn baby in a cardboard box in the bitter   
   Alaskan cold has been located by authorities, Alaska State Troopers   
   confirmed on Wednesday.   
      
   Police say the mother — who was identified as a teenager — was taken to a   
   Fairbanks-area hospital for evaluation and medical care, according to   
   Troopers spokesperson Tim DeSpain.   
      
   “The mother is cooperative and at this time, her well-being and medical   
   treatment is the priority,” DeSpain wrote in an email.   
      
   The baby was found wrapped in blankets inside of a cardboard box in   
   Fairbanks on New Year’s Eve when temperatures were in the single digits   
   with a wind chill of 12 below. The infant was left with a gut-wrenching   
   note from the mother, which said the child’s parents and grandparents   
   could not afford to feed him.   
      
   Fairbanks resident Roxy Lane posted a video on social media of the note   
   and the baby that has since been taken down. She said she found the child   
   near a row of mailboxes.   
      
   The note, written from the child’s perspective, began with “Please help   
   me!!!”   
      
   “I was born today on December 31, 2021 (at) 6 a.m. I was born 12 weeks   
   premature,” the note read. “My mom was 28 weeks when she had me. My   
   parents and grandparents don’t have food or money to raise me. They NEVER   
   wanted to do this to me.   
      
   “My mom is so sad to do this,” the note continued. “Please take me and   
   find me a LOVING FAMILY. My parents are begging whoever finds me. My name   
   is Teshawn.”   
      
   Troopers said in Wednesday’s statement that they are investigating “the   
   circumstances surrounding the baby being abandoned” and that “no criminal   
   charges have been filed at this time.”   
      
   Alaska’s safe haven law allows parents to legally surrender an infant   
   under certain conditions, such as leaving the baby in the custody of   
   someone such as a peace officer, doctor, hospital employee or firefighter   
   — or with someone they believe would provide appropriate care. The law   
   applies to babies younger than 21 days old.
