PORTLAND, Ore. — A mother gave birth on a downtown Portland sidewalk Wednesday morning and walked off, leaving the newborn girl behind, police officials said.
First responders with AMR and Portland Fire were called out at about 10:45 a.m. on reports of a baby being born near Southwest 13th Avenue and Market Street.
Police officers were also dispatched after they learned the mother left the newborn on the sidewalk and walked away.
The baby girl was also taken to a local children’s hospital where she appears to be in good condition.
The mother was not cooperating with officers or medical personnel and was taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation.
“Unfortunately, we encountered somebody that was experiencing some pretty serious mental health crisis. Both my partner and I are CIT [Crisis Intervention Team] officers and we work pretty closely with folks in crisis at times. We were able to get her stopped and get her into an ambulance and onto a hospital for a physical and also address other issues,” said Nathan Kirby-Glatkowski, who works with the PPB Neighborhood Response Team.
Portland police said they would like to thank the community members who saw what was happening and rushed to immediately cover up the baby and call 911.
“There are some really good people here,” said a woman, who lives in the neighborhood.
She said she was glad to hear the mother got the care she needed.
“That’s good to know. I’m glad to hear it, and I’m glad to hear she wasn’t alone, and she got some help,” said the woman.

pray for the little girl but put the mother in a mental prison hospital and most of all don’t ever let her around a child and find the little girl a good home as far away as you can from the mother
The country has to stop pretending it is a “civil right” to refuse mental health care or be forcibly confined until you have been fully treated. Incidents like this are all too common. Babies thrown in dumpsters, etc. As are incidents of people being the subject of unprovoked attack, being thrown on a subway track, or as recently, attacked with a bag of human feces. For the current state of affairs you can thank democratic voters and the judges that their DEM reps put into office, or into position as a District Attorney.They fight not to prosecute or get aid for the crazies and normal people are left to fend for themselves. Disgusting. Blood is on the hand of every Democratic voter.
This is beyond human..Couldnt anyone, see this woman was in dire need of help..I assume her family siblings etc, wanted nothing too do with her, but for God sake at least report her she was pregnant, these poor babies being born by animals like this..Its 2022, by all means there is every kind of birth control you could name out there, but mentally ill people wouldn’t think of being on anything.. even though they could get it for nothing, so why didn’t you just walk into a clinic, and not have this poor child now it’s here to weed to be adopted go back to her and get abused, and God knows what else disgusting, no excuse, plain ignorance we live in one sad world believe what you want to believe but people like her should not have kids sorry they suffer not her.
With the ignorant crew in the white house, congress and senate these days nothing is surprising. No one gets the help they need. It’s all about the stupid dems that only care about their party. Time to get rid of all of the ignorant crew we have now. Pres., VP, Dem Speaker of the House and the rest of the Libs/Dems.
Sadest part is this is not at all uncommon and not at all a “new”thing, either. It’s been going on for over 50 years I have seen it.
You do not hear about it because most do not get any media attention at all, These people, both female and male, do the same thing to their children that they do to dogs and cats. It’s not the “mental” thing at all. The simple fact is they are animals,,,animals with no compassion conscience or remorse for anything they do. Lock them up and throw away the key. They make me sick,,,,,Since, as a rookie Cleveland Policeman I pulled a baby from an incinerator over 50 years ago. It was the first for me, but not the last and every one made me feel just as bad.
Yeah, she/it has mental issues alright, she’s a lost soul, chalk another one up to the NWO devils!
maybe she thought she was a pigeon
The severity of this situation seems to have been lost on you, sir. Maybe next time you will show a little common decency. Good day. Marilyn Bauer
How Is Something Like This Even Possible?
Pray for this baby girl and her troubled mother.

She MUST be some piece of TRASH! Even animals won’t leave their newborn!!!
Animals main goal in life is not to get high!

Why is it that everyone has compassion for the criminal and not the victim? Then the label “mental sickness” comes to their help!
For me something like this is not new an artical in a n y paper a woman gave birth and threw the baby out of a closed window to see if it could fly

Remember it is Portland. After the last 2 years, everything is possible in Portland!
This is the kind of thing that occurs in a culture that teaches that grinding is free. Sad but no surprise.
