Didn’t Anyone Pay Attention During Sex Ed?

It had something to do with something down there:

A report that a fetus had been found at a Queens golf course triggered a multi-agency search for the mother yesterday — a search that ended when officials determined that the discovery was in fact a sanitary napkin.

Employees at the Forest Park Golf Club called 911 just before 1 p.m. yesterday, prompting a level-one mobilization — the deployment of several dozen officers — to the public golf course in Woodhaven, police said. The discovery was initially reported by a golfer who was suspicious of something she found in the restroom, a spokeswoman for the Parks Department said. “Everyone thought it was a fetus,” a course employee said.

Before resolving the case, members of the police canine unit and a helicopter from the aviation unit joined officers in scouring the golf course for signs of a woman they believed abandoned the fetus. A duty inspector and a duty captain also reported to the scene, police said.

. . .

Three hours after it began, the search was cancelled when investigators determined the true nature of the golfer’s discovery. Without a case to investigate, police removed crime scene tape, the course manager, Robert Smith, said. “It was nothing,” he said.

Golf was not suspended during the investigation, Mr. Smith said.
