They actually have video surveillance of the person believed to be the person who gave birth entering the store...she exited 14 minutes later.

Baby John Doe remains in hospital in serious, but stable condition.
Linda Nosbush has researched family dynamics and child development for years. She says this mother may have felt abandoning her newborn was her only option.
LINDA NOSBUSH/National Council of Early Childhood Development: This young woman and her young child did fall between the cracks of our support systems within Prince Albert. Obviously this is a sign to us we need to be more excessable.
The woman who gave birth in the washroom at Wal-Mart in Prince Albert is still missing. Police say their main concern is for her safety and they haven't decided if charges will be laid.
SGT. RHONDA MEAKIN/Prince Albert Police Service: It's still early in the investigation. We only have the little infomation provided to you. So until we get the whole story, we can't even begin to look at that yet.
This criminal lawyer says police have a few options. They can either not press charges or the mother could face jail time.
KRIS EGGUM/Defense Lawyer: Depending on where the child was found in the washroom, if it were on the floor maybe they'd look at it better than if the child was found somewhere else in a more dangerous position.
Until the mother is found the baby will remain under the care of social services.
YVONNE SKRUDLAND/Child and Family Services: If there aren't any parents able to care for a child then we would become invovled. We would look for a safe place for that child to live, until some plan could be put inplace. First thing we look at usually is family.
Nosbush says funding has recently been secured to hire an outreach worker to help in the obstetrics unit within Victoria Hospital.
LINDA NOSBUSH/National Council of Early Childhood Development: So this person will help to contact and talk with the young mom and help her with her plans before she leaves hospital to help to make sure she has the resources that she needs to parent her child.
Prince Albert police have obtained video surveillance of the mother entering the Wal-Mart store and exiting after giving birth. Its expected police will release that video to the media and the public Thursday.
