A newborn baby girl was discovered abandoned in Bangkok, Thailand, authorities have confirmed. The infant was found to be severely weakened and suffering from the cold, with her hands visibly wrinkled from prolonged exposure to water, and her umbilical cord still attached.
Medical personnel and police were immediately dispatched to the scene. The baby was transported to Sirindhorn Hospital in Bangkok, where doctors say her condition was critical but she has since stabilized.
Doctors are calling the infant’s survival remarkable, noting she received timely medical attention. “She is a true ‘miracle baby’,” medical staff stated.
The newborn is now under the care of medical professionals and local social services, ensuring she receives the necessary attention and support. The incident highlights the challenges faced by vulnerable newborns and the importance of social safety nets.
Police have launched an investigation to locate the baby’s mother. Investigators believe the mother may have given birth alone and, overwhelmed by panic, abandoned the child. The location where the baby was left has raised questions among authorities.
The investigation is being conducted under Section 317 of the Thai Criminal Code, which carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison for the unlawful abandonment of a child.
