Hillsborough deputies searching for missing newborn child, mother

TAMPA, Fla. - Hillsborough County deputies were searching for a newborn child who could be endangered, but on Monday morning they said the child, and her mother, were located and are safe.

Deputies said there were parental rights issues. The mother left St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital with her newborn baby on Thursday. Her parental rights were terminated with her last child, and she failed to inform her case manager that she was pregnant.

Through the weekend, deputies were searching for the pair. On Monday, they said, both were "located safely."

No other information was provided.
