Baby not hurled from car, admits mother

THE mother of a newborn baby said to have been hurled from a car window was in fact the "good Samaritan" who claimed to have found the infant at the roadside, police said last night.

Patricia Pokriots, 38, concocted a story, telling police she had witnessed the tot being thrown from a moving vehicle because she did not want the child.

The twist emerged after Florida police interviewed Pokriots.
