Abandoned baby story a hoax Toronto police tell media

The mother of a newborn baby has admitted to making up a false story that she found the child abandoned in a laneway at a North York plaza. The baby boy was in fact born in a home on Redeberry Parkway where the young mother was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon as seen in the tweeted picture below. A worker at a dry cleaning business with a door facing onto the walkway where the baby was falsely reported to be found previously told CP24 that investigators reviewed surveillance footage but did not see any baby being left in the walkway.
