Grandma Drops Baby Off at Wrong Address Thu May 4, 9:53 PM ET

OMAHA, Neb. - What started out as a possible child abandonment case in
Omaha on Wednesday turned out to be a misunderstanding, police say.

Police received a call from a woman who said another woman she didn't
know had driven up to her home, handed her a baby boy and a diaper bag
and left.

It turns out, the woman was the baby's grandmother and thought she was
dropping the baby off at day care, but she had the wrong address,
officers said.

Police said the incident was a misunderstanding, and no charges will be
filed.

The infant was placed in foster care for several hours until his mother
showed up at police headquarters Wednesday afternoon after seeing
pictures of her baby on television news.

Back in 1969-1970 I knew this couple who went to San Francisco for a few
months and left their baby with somebody in Wooster, Ohio as they trekked
west. The only problem was when they returned the couldn't remember who'd
they'd left him with. I never did hear what happened.
