Deandre Skillern came forward to identify himself as the father. He said he did not know girlfriend Sidney Woytasczyk, 21, was pregnant

The footage was released on Friday after a man appeared at a custody hearing identifying himself as the father.

Deandre Skillern said the 6 pounds 13 ounce tot was his after police tracked him and girlfriend Sidney Woytasczyk, 21 to their house.

The court heard that a trail of blood led them to their address at Cypress Creek apartments, where Woytasczyk allegedly confessed to giving birth to the child.

Skillern and Woytasczyk's mother Tina said they were not aware the young woman was pregnant.

A grand jury will see the case next week to decide if the pair will be charged.

The baby girl is being treated for a bacterial infection and a rapid heart rate in hospital.

She was found at 5am on Thursday by neighbour Albert Peterson who heard crying from the pavement — which he first thought was a cat.

He told local Channel 2 News: "She was there on the ground in the flower bed with ants.

"She was covered from head to toe and all in her ears... She had a lot of strength too. She was fighting."

Harris County Deputy Thomas Gilliland said: "Had this neighbour not been here, we'd be looking at a homicide. It's a miracle the child was found."

Parents of Student Murdered by Maintenance Man Sue Apartment Complex

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go
