Mom charged with abandoning newborn baby girl in tote bag outside NYC building

The mother of the newborn baby girl left abandoned in a tote bag outside a Bronx building over the weekend now faces criminal charges, authorities said.

Delfina Galvez, 26, turned herself in late Monday after the NYPD released surveillance footage showing the suspect believed to have dumped the infant on a rain-drenched sidewalk outside a Morrisania building early Sunday, cops said. 

Galvez was charged with reckless endangerment, acting in a manner injurious to a child and abandonment of a child.

Her tiny daughter, who appears to be only a few days old, was left alone outside the building on Reverend James Polite Ave. near East 167th Street around 6 a.m., swaddled in blankets inside the tote bag, cops said.

The baby’s cries prompted someone to call 911, law enforcement sources said.

Cops spoke to the caller and then found the infant inside the dumped bag, sources said.

EMS workers brought the baby to Jacobi Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition, police said.

Galvez surrendered several hours after the NYPD released video allegedly showing her carrying the bag as she walked slowly along the sidewalk with a hood pulled up over her head, wearing a black face mask and glasses or sunglasses.

Galvez, who lives about a block from the spot where she is accused of dumping her newborn daughter, does not appear to have any prior arrests in the Big Apple, authorities said.
