COBB COUNTY, Ga. - A Cobb County mom is facing charges after being accused of abandoning her infant daughter.

According to arrest warrants obtained by Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell, Laraven Davis walked into a Jiffy Lube on Floyd Road and handed over her 6-month-old daughter.


Davis reportedly told the employees that she might not come back, and if she does not, they should call the police.

Employees say the baby was in wet, soiled clothes, had a diaper rash, a rash under her chin and had not been bathed in  some time. 

Police say employees had the baby for at least 20 minutes, according to the warrant.


Employees told police they felt obligated to take in the baby because they did not know what would happen to her if they did not.

Davis was arrested and charged with child abandonment and reckless conduct, both misdemeanors. She was granted a $4,000 bond.
