Los Angeles County sheriff deputies are seeking the public's help in finding the mother of a newborn that was found buried alive.

The baby girl was found on Friday in Compton after reports from people who said they heard a baby crying in a river bed.

Deputies found the girl buried alive under pieces of asphalt and rubble along a bike path.

The girl, wrapped in a blanket, was cold to the touch, but she was listed in stable condition after being taken to the hospital.
