A newborn kidnapped from her mother's side last week was left in a church by a woman who asked a priest about having the child baptized, then disappeared.
Seven-week-old Crystal Guerrero was reunited Thursday with her parents, Jose and Maria Guerrero, at Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where doctors said the baby had been well fed and was in excellent condition.Volunteers at the Queen of Angels church found the infant on the floor. Hours later, they encountered the woman again, and turned her over to police.
Hortencia Hernandez, 28, of Chicago was charged Friday with aggravated kidnapping, said police Sgt. Milton Carson. Maria Guerrero identified her as the woman she talked with before the infant disappeared, he said.
"I don't wish her anything bad," Maria Guerrero said.
A woman carrying the baby approached a priest in the church, who told her she needed an appointment to discuss a baptism.
