ATLANTA — Atlanta police say they’re searching for the mother of a newborn baby left outside a house on the city’s southwest side.

Police say the hours-old baby was found Monday night outside a home on Harlan Road.

WSB Radio reports that she was wrapped in a “Hello Kitty” blanket and still had her umbilical cord attached to her.

The infant was taken to a local hospital.

Atlanta police Capt. Terrell Griffin said the main focus early Tuesday was to find the mother to make sure she has received proper medical treatment.
