JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Police are calling her, "Baby Jane Doe." A newborn baby, found in a Southside dumpster.

Witnesses say a woman taking out her trash at the Beachwood Apartments heard crying from inside a dumpster. She rushed to her neighbors for help.

They looked in the dumpster and spotted a pink pillowcase. When it moved, they quickly reached in and pulled the case out, laying it on the ground.

Inside they found the baby wrapped in a blanket. The baby still had its umbilical cord attached.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the baby was rushed in critical condition to Baptist Medical Center where she was cleaned up and hydrated.

The newborn is breathing on its own and is expected to be fine.

The question now is, who is the child's mother?

JSO went door-to-door through the apartment complex for answers, but no one knew of anyone who had been pregnant.

Residents told First Coast News people from nearby neighborhoods routinely dump their trash in the dumpster at the apartment complex.

By Florida law, any mother who, for any reason, feels they cannot keep a child, can drop the child off at any fire station or emergency room with no questions asked.
