"I was using dope, and I forgot him there," Hukill said of leaving her 1-year-old son in a gas station bathroom.
VALLEJO, Calif. (KGO) -- The woman who found an abandoned baby in a Vallejo gas station restroom is making a remarkable gesture.
Cameron Johnson, a mother of three from Ukiah, stopped at the gas station on her way to Emeryville on Saturday.
About an hour earlier, surveillance video shows how another mother, 21-year-old Joia Hukill walked into the restroom with her baby in a stroller and nine minutes later, walked out without him. The child 15-month-old Charles Evans Edwards IV couldn't talk, but he could cry.
When Johnson brought her daughter into the ladies' room, she found Charles in his stroller clearly upset. She checked the stalls for a mother and when she couldn't find anyone, she went outside and kept looking around. Then she realized the baby had been abandoned.
Gas station clerk Charlotte Escobosa called the police. She has no sympathy for Charles' mother.
"I was saying if she had the nerve to come back and ask for her kid back, she was not getting that kid back. I don't care how hard she tried," said Ecobosa.
