"They're asking he be taken care of and she was no longer able to care for the child and she was leaving the area," said Frankfort police dectective Jeff Ward.

There are few other clues to his identity, but the note's author, believed to be his mother, said why she could no longer care for Martin.

"She's talking about her husband leaving her a few months ago," said Ward.

The Indiana baby safe haven law does allow parents to leave children less than 30 days old with an emergency medical provider like a hospital or fire department with no questions asked and no consequences.

"Not all families are covered by the Safe Haven. That only really counts for brand new infants," said Tippecanoe County Child Protective Services Director Angela Smith Grossman.

Child Protective Services said parents of older children like Martin need to ask for help, not leave their child in a public place like Walmart where he could be abducted.

"If someone is in need of providing care for their child and is interested in giving their children up that's what we do, try to help families have the resources available to so they don't have to (abandon them)," explained Smith Grossman.

Martin is with a foster family in Clinton County, but police continue to search for his family.

"We try to advertise as widely as possible to get any kind of identifying information and not because we're concerned about consequencing the parents as we are about any medial conditions the child might have," said Smith Grossman.

Frankfort Police said Martin can't communicate any information about his situation, but seems to be doing well with his foster family.

The Walmart is reviewing surveillance tapes to see if the person who left the boy can be identified.  That person could face child neglect charges.  Police are also checking to make sure Martin is not a missing child.  Child Protect Services asks anyone with information about him call 800-800-5556.
