A Bronx mother was arraigned for abandoning her newborn baby boy in Williamsbridge.
Claudette Tinnin, 28, allegedly wrapped her baby in a beige T-shirt and placed him in a bag before leaving him at a neighbor’s door, court documents say. The baby boy still had his umbilical cord attached.
Officers arrested Tinnin just before 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, just over five hours after the incident.
Tinnin did not ask her neighbor to care for her child before placing him by her door.
Prosecutors say Tinnin’s actions were captured on surveillance video. She is charged with abandonment of a child, reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child.
Tinnin was placed on supervised release and is due back in court on Dec. 1.
