\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA 19-year-old Orlando mother accused of abandoning her newborn in a driveway has accepted a plea deal, resulting in her deportation to Mexico. Angelica Sanchez Bautista was arrested by Orlando police last August after her 1-week-old baby was found wrapped in a blanket with a 102-degree fever in a driveway on Lido Street. The child recovered after being discovered. As part of the plea deal, the state dropped Bautista\u2019s felony neglect of a child charge. The court adjudicated her guilty of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a first-degree misdemeanor. She was sentenced to 267 days in jail, with credit for time served since her arrest. Bautista did not address the court during the proceedings, which she listened to through a Spanish translator. The prosecutor said Bautista signed away her parental rights. Her child, a U.S. citizen born in Florida, has been adopted by another family. Orlando police are reminding parents and caregivers about Florida’s Safe Haven Law, which allows anyone to safely surrender a newborn baby at designated locations, including hospitals or staffed fire stations.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
