U.S. Virgin Islands police say a woman was allegedly driving with her newborn baby zipped up in her purse.
A police statement says an officer pulled over a woman driving a pickup during a routine traffic stop Tuesday.
While asking for the St. Croix woman’s license, the officer reported hearing a baby crying but did not see a baby seat in the vehicle.
The motorist then allegedly unzipped a purse sitting on the seat next to her and revealed a tiny newborn.
Police say the woman told them that the baby girl was born at home a week ago and had no prenatal care. She was apparently driving the infant to a doctor.
Police rushed the newborn to a hospital.
The mother may face criminal charges. Her name and age were not disclosed.

In her purse!? She could’ve called the Hospital an ambulance could’ve came over and checked on the child or taken them to the hospital with a special car seat for the baby. =( But as long as the baby wasn’t being abused I guess?
