Doctors released a 2-month-old girl, from a hospital Monday, two days after she was found in a black plastic bag floating in a lake in southeastern Brazil.

Scores of Brazilians mobbed the Odilion Behrens Municipal Hospital hoping to adopt or at least catch a glimpse of the child whose dramatic rescue was filmed by an amateur cameraman and broadcast worldwide.

Authorities said it was the same Belo Horizonte hospital where the infant was born, which helped authorities locate the mother, who allegedly set her adrift on nearby Pampulha Lake.

Baby found in plastic bag in a lake in southeastern Brazil.

The baby was released into the care of local child-protection authorities.

“She’s doing great, in perfect health,” said Rosana Alves, a hospital spokeswoman. “Now the Juvenile Court will decide whether she goes to a family or to a shelter.”

Alves said the commotion over the infant and the flood of adoption offers had interfered with hospital routine.

Police arrested the mother, 27-year-old Simone Cassiano da Silva, on Sunday and charged her with attempted homicide.
