The Hunt For Angelica’s Family

Toronto police think they may have found a woman related to little Angelica Leslie. The infant was abandoned in a stairwell in December when she was a mere eight months.

Because of the recent development, authorities are asking for a month’s delay in naming the now-11-month-old a Crown’s ward while they investigate a “person of interest.”

Once Angelica is named a ward of the Crown, the Children’s Aid Society can go forward in seeking an adoptive family. There have been over 80 requests for adopting the baby with an angel’s facesince she was found in a cold stairwell this winter. Found in a plaza on Leslie Street and Finch Avenue, the child was named Leslie by those who took her in.

The security video from the scene showed a green car pulling up to the stairwell and then driving away. The police are not sure if there is a connection between Angelica and the woman on the film.

In the number of people that we are looking at, there is a possibility that some of them could be kin. I wouldn’t go so far as to say (that one of them could be the child’s mother) but that is a possibility.

If Angelica’s mother were to be found it is unlikely that the child would be returned to her.

Children’s Aid Society authorities say that the baby is doing very well in her foster care placement.
