Authorities said that a woman whose name is Karla L. Antimo identified as the newborn grandmother makes the wrong report of an offence.

In the 3500 blocks of North Pulaski Road in the South Old Irving Park neighbourhood, she put him on a garbage can. This area is located on the city’s Northwest Side.

Authorities said that the 17 years old boy who was the father of that newborn went to the alley. He put the baby covered in a towel into the bad and called his grandmother Antimo.

Antimo then took the newborn from there and took it to Chicago firehouse which is located in the 1700 block of North Pulaski Road in the city’s Hermosa neighbourhood. She reported to police that around 3:30 p.m. on top of a garbage can, she has found the baby in an alley in the 1700 block of North Keystone Avenue.
