Officers say a female baby sitter agreed to watch the woman’s baby while the mother claimed to be making a trip to a store around 5:00 p.m. The sitter called police when the mother didn’t return.
Officers arrived at the home in the 1500 block of 13th Street and investigators started the search for the mother. The baby was taken to United Regional to get checked out and is fine. The baby is now in the custody of Child Protective Services.
The investigation is ongoing. Wichita Falls Police say they have not made any arrests.
