Texas CPS officials say the little girl found abandoned at Baylor Hospital in Dallas is still in their custody, but that could be changing.
The 6-year-old girl was dropped off at Baylor Medical Center’s emergency room early last week, with no information about who she was. She could only tell officials that her name was Alejandra.
Authorities found the little girl’s relatives a few days later thanks to tips from the public. Now a judge has approved an expedited 5-day home study for the placement of the child with a relative in Dallas County.
Officials say they had difficulty finding the girl's relatives because the child's name did not match her birth record.
A review hearing is scheduled for February. So far no arrests have been made in the case of the child's abandonment.
