Just a few weeks ago, a shopping bag was discovered in a church parking lot. The bag was brought in by a church staff member who set it by the door hoping whoever left it would find it there. This bag would have stayed there overnight had something incredible not happened: a baby started crying from within the bag.
A staff member searched the bag and found an infant and a teddy bear wrapped in a red towel. No information is known as to the whereabouts of the parents/abandoner. Although churches are safe haven drop-off sites in most states, the circumstances of this case will not free the parents from prosecution. The child was found in the parking lot and no staff members were notified of her presence. Had the child not cried when she did, she may have sat by the door all night without being fed or changed.
Anyone with information is urged to come forward.
