The baby was found wrapped in a plastic bag. 9News

Police and hospital staff involved in the baby's rescue wanted her to have a name because they feel "like she is one of theirs," he added.India is in a hospital receiving medical attention, and the Department of Family and Children's Services will likely place her in foster care, Freeman said.

Law enforcement officials are canvassing the area, checking cameras and asking for the community's assistance in figuring out how India got there. If she was left there, the person involved could be charged with offenses such as abandonment and cruelty to children in the first degree. But authorities are not going to speculate on criminal charges until they know what happened, Freeman said. Their priority is making sure India and the woman who gave birth to her are both safe and in good condition, he said.
