ORLANDO, Fla. -- An abandoned 1-year-old baby girl was left on the side of an Orlando house Saturday night, and police are now trying to locate the child's mother. Stephanie Tucker, 19, left her child in a stroller on the side of a house on West Livingston Street, according to police. The homeowner found the baby girl along with a note from Tucker, saying, "I cannot take care of my kid. Please take care of my child," police said. The woman who found the child discovered the baby's original hospital bracelet in the stroller. Orlando police said Tucker is from Homestead and are now trying to locate her but aren't sure if she's still in Orlando. The baby is OK, Local 6 News reported. Police issued an arrest warrant for Tucker for child neglect by abandonment. Police said Tucker likely took a bus from Homestead to Orlando and randomly selected the house where she left her child.
