Woman Awakes to Find Strange Baby in Her Bed

The mystery that began Sunday morning when a Battle Creek woman found a 1-year-old child she didn’t know in her bed has been solved.

The woman, who has not been identified, called police to her apartment after she was unable to locate her 18-year-old son. He does not have a child, but that was the only explanation she could think of for the baby being in her bed, the Battle Creek Enquirer and WOOD-TV report.

Police later determined the woman’s son had dropped the child off before going out. The baby’s mother has also been located and the child has been returned to her, but Child Protective Services is investigating.

Before the reunion, police took the toddler to the local police station, where the child became an “instant hit… with the night shift officers and ended up being showered with Matchbox Cars, Teddy bears and Beanie Babies,” according to a news release.

The release noted officers also “brushed up on their tactical diaper changing and peekaboo techniques.”
