(KMOV) -- People who live near Amberg Park in south St. Louis called police around 2 p.m., Thursday to report an infant had been abandoned in the park.

Helen Edwards says her nephew ran home and reported that baby was in a stroller, alone. Edwards says she and another relative went to the park and found the baby, crying. Edwards says whoever left the child also left a diaper bag with clothing, diapers, and a can of formula.

Edwards says she sat with the baby until police arrived. It's unclear how long the child was alone in the park.

St. Louis Police said officers located the mother, who told them that the child's father was caring for the baby earlier in the day.

A detective said investigators determined the mother was not at fault and are looking for the father.

The mother was reunited with her baby.
