Some disturbing news from a Burger King in Jamaica, Queens: a mother allegedly abandoned her baby boy at the fast food chain, leaving him on a table just before 11 p.m. last night.
The burger-baby incident took place at a King at 154-04 Rockaway Boulevard, just off of Southern Parkway. The boy, who was between four and six months old, was considered to be "in good condition" and taken by police to Jamaica Hospital for observation. Of course, he isn't the only baby to be left behind at a fast-food restaurant over the years.
Officials initially had no idea who the mother was or why the baby was left at the restaurant, but the NYPD told us this afternoon that two arrests have been made in the case: mom Kimberly Brundidge was arrested and charged with abandoning a child and acting in a manner injurious to a child, and Wesley Kendall was arrested and charged with obstructing governmental administration, false reporting of an incident, and acting in a manner injurious to a child.
