SAN ANTONIO, TX - A woman is fighting for custody of her daughter one year after the child was found by a bus driver sitting in the middle of a busy street.
"I couldn't tell exactly what it was," said bus driver Michael Hubbard.
It was just after midnight last May when Hubbard spotted something in the street ahead of him.
"It looked like a dog or something."
Hubbard stopped just in time to miss running over that something; a baby clad only in a diaper sitting in the middle of the street.
Moments later a man ran over from a nearby house and scooped up the child.
Child Protective Services took the child, Destiny Flores, and her 2 sisters, out of the home.
Their mother, 25-year-old Catherine Gonzalez is still fighting to get them back.
Gonzalez says she has no idea how Destiny opened the door of their home and got out that night.
"It was an accident that's all it was. It can happen to anyone in the world. It was just an accident that's all it was," Gonzalez said.
Texas Child Protective Services will determine within the next few weeks if the girls will be allowed to return home.
