FORT POLK, La. — Fort Polk police are asking for help in finding the person or persons who abandoned a newborn at a fire station on Dec. 6.

The infant, now in foster care, is a male who is either black, Hispanic, or biracial. The military says the baby's estimated age at the time of abandonment was between two and 14 days.

The infant had been wrapped in a polyester quilt blanket. The blanket featured a design of brown teddy bears and yellow stars over a blue-and-white checkered pattern.

Officials believe the infant was delivered in a place other than a hospital and are concerned about the mother's welfare.

Anyone with information on the case can call the Military Police investigations office at (337) 353-8226.
