A newborn baby was found in the backyard of a home by Palatka police early Sunday morning, according to the Palatka Police Department.
Police said the baby was found unclothed with its umbilical cord and wrapped in a blanket in the backyard of a home on North 17th Street just before 1 a.m.
The baby was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition and doing well, police said.
Investigation revealed that the baby was born in the home despite someone — who police did not identify — telling police that they did not know where the baby came from or who put the child in the yard.
Investigators learned that a 15-year-old who lives in the home gave birth to the child.
The investigation is ongoing.
