WEEHAWKEN, N.J. -- Officials believe the mother who left her battered newborn on the steps of a New Jersey high school is a teacher in a neighboring school district.
West New York School Superintendent John Fauta says the 37-year-old has taught math to special education students at West New York's Memorial High School since 2007.
The woman, whose name has not been released, is undergoing a psychological evaluation and has not been charged.
The 1-month-old girl was wearing only a diaper and wrapped in a blanket when a parent found her at Weehawken High School on Friday.
Prosecutors say the baby is being treated for multiple fractures, including a skull fracture.
Fauta told The Journal of Jersey City his concern is not only for the child, but that the mother gets proper treatment.
The hottest stories ripped from the headlines, from crime to courts, legal and scandal.
