VIDEO: An infant child who survived being left in a towel on a garbage can by his mother in a Chicago alley and then dropped off at a nearby firehouse by his grandmother now has a name. Patrick Casey Doe was named after the firefighter, Patrick, and police officer, Casey, who helped take him to the hospital for treatment, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford. Langford said Patrick Fitzmorris was the chief paramedic the day the baby was dropped at a Chicago firehouse in the 1700 block of North Pulaski Road in the city's Hermosa neighborhood. The full name of the officer involved wasn't immediately known. The teenage parents and grandmother of the newborn baby were charged early Friday, according to police.
