Hampton police have arrested Kimberly Vick Fisher, 30, and charged her with one count of attempted murder, after she allegedly left her newborn infant in the woods on Friday.
On Friday afternoon, the baby was found by some contractors working on Rendon Drive. They heard crying coming from a heavily wooded area, and when they investigated, they discovered an infant girl wrapped in a trash bag with the umbilical cord still attached.
The baby was transported to the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, and is doing well according to police.
Fisher is currently being held in the Hampton City Jail.
Virginia law allows for mothers to drop their unwanted babies off at any hospital or fire station throughout the state, with no questions asked. The law was enacted to prevent crimes such as this one, which could have easily ended in tragedy.
