DENVER (KDVR) — The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is now in contact with the family of a one-month-old boy who was abandoned in a road median, apparently on Christmas morning.

According to a social media report, deputies responded to a 911 call around 9:20 a.m. from someone who saw the baby boy in a median near 7490 Pecos St. and stopped to help. The area is a busy roadway that’s near an intersection with U.S. 36.

The person reported they discovered the baby in a car seat wearing only a diaper.

Investigators have searched the area for camera footage and people who may have been in the area when the baby was left. The agency said the baby appears to be mixed race or Hispanic but did not provide photos of the baby.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office said it was seeking to reunite the baby with his family and find the person who abandoned the baby. As of about 4:30 p.m., the agency said it had been in contact with family members of the infant and was continuing to investigate. The agency said it would pursue criminal charges if appropriate.

The agency provided a number of photos of the car seat the baby was found in, which was marked as “display only: Not intended for sale.”

The baby is being observed at the children’s hospital as a precaution, according to the sheriff’s office.

Anyone who may have information on the incident or those who may recognize the car seat was asked to contact the Adams County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number at 303-288-1535.
