‘Raped and drug-addicted’ mom left heartbreaking note when she abandoned newborn baby at church

A MOTHER left her healthy newborn daughter at an Upper Manhattan church earlier this week with a heartbreaking note.

The unknown woman hammered on the door of the Saint Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church in Washington Heights, NY, on Tuesday afternoon.

When a church worker answered the door she was handed a bag containing clothes, a baby and the note that, looking at the woman, broke her heart.

The note explained that she couldn’t raise the child because she was “raped” and a “drug addict,” according to police.

It read: “Please help I can’t have this baby I was raped and I’m a drug addict.”

The receptionist at the church described the baby she had been handed to The New York Post.

“She looked new. She was wet. She was a pretty baby. Very pretty,”

The baby, believed to be about three hours old, was “in a bag wrapped in clothes,” a police source said. NYPD dubbed the baby “Jane Doe”. Baby Jane was taken to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital where she appeared to be healthy.

Cops are not treating the incident as a crime.

New York’s Abandoned Infant Protection Act allows a parent to anonymously leave a newborn up to 30 days old in a safe haven like a church without fear of prosecution.
