Police say a Beltsville woman who found an abandoned baby outside Wednesday is actually the newborns mother and had become overwhelmed. Khiani Jackson told News4 Wednesday she heard a baby crying outside her home in the 12600 block of Shoal Creek Terrance just before noon, and immediately called police. She was cold, Jackson said, adding her motherly instincts immediately kicked in. I immediately got her and washed her. I would have done what I could to help [the mother], it came to this. God works in mysterious ways, Jackson said. Police had said the baby was born just hours before being hospitalized that afternoon in good condition. Thursday, Prince Georges County Police announced Jackson is in fact the babys mother, who told officials she had given birth inside her home and was feeling overwhelmed when she called 911. Police say the baby was not left outside at any point, and charges have not been filed. Child Protective Services is taking care of the baby. nbcwashington/news/local/Newborn-Baby-Girl-Found-in-Beltsville-Police-Looking-for-Mom-281665921.html
