CAMBRIDGE, Md. -- Police say a 44-year-old woman gave birth in a portable toilet at a park, then dropped the newborn girl into the waste holding tank.
Charging documents state that a witness at Long Wharf Park called 911 Monday morning after Candy Vigneri asked for a cigarette, then said she had just had a baby and the baby was in the toilet.
When police arrived, they found Vigneri holding the baby covered in blue chemical similar to the liquid inside the tank.
Police say the newborn was left in the waste tank for about three minutes. Vigneri and the baby were taken to the Memorial Hospital at Easton for treatment.
Vigneri was released Wednesday and charged with first- and second-degree child abuse and reckless endangerment. The infant was listed in stable condition on Wednesday.
