MrsCinAZ, you asked about a baby who was separated from his/her mother.

BurbankKarl posted a photo of the white mother with a water bottle in her hand -- she was being interviewed so I'm assuming it was given to her by a member of the TV crew.

As I understood the TV interview, the mother passed the child to a passenger directly ahead of her in line to board a bus to Texas. Just as the mother was about to step into the bus herself, she tripped and three other passengers cut in line ahead of her. As she tried to board the bus herself, the doors were closed in her face and the bus pulled away without her with the child on board.

The TV crew intervened on her behalf while on camera, flagging down an NOPD officer who in turn brought over a state trooper. The LSP officer put the mother in his car and drove her to the location where the very next Texas-bound bus would be leaving so she could retrieve her baby. I don't know whether or not she was successful.

Hope this clarifies the posts both of you left.
