Baby Abandoned with Babysitter
Wow. I have never heard a story quite like this. A woman left her child in the care of a babysitter and police are calling it abandonment. Confused? Well, the babysitter had a family emergency and called the mother to come pick up her child. The mother refused and expected the babysitter to find an […]
Backyard Abandonment
This is just not a good month for the babies of this country. Yet another newborn was found abandoned in someone’s backyard and there is currently no evidence to suggest who put the child there. The umbilical cord had been cut with a serrated knife and had a low birth weight. Otherwise, the child was […]
Kesia Lenetta Watson: Another Abandoned Infant
Today’s article is rather short, but definitely worth reporting. Another baby was found abandoned in Prichard. The baby was placed on a porch by the mother, Kesia Lenetta Watson, 33.

Porch Baby was Stillborn
We reported on the baby that was abandoned on a neighbor’s porch in Philadelphia earlier. It turns out that the child was actually stillborn. This is still incredibly sad, but I cannot help but be ecstatic that the child did not die on the porch, cold and alone. The mother is still wanted for questioning […]
Abandoned Infant Perishes on Porch
I have yet another article on an infant who was found dead and abandoned. It is possible that the baby was not dead at the time she was abandoned, but she was left on a neighbor’s dark porch and was no longer breathing by the time she was found. She was wrapped in a brown […]
Baby Mary Louise is Remembered
Colorado residents probably remember baby Mary Louise. Although Safe Haven laws had been passed in Colorado the year before, her abandonment still occurred and many local residents will forever remember her. A religious service was held to remind everyone that safe havens still exist and there are options out there for pregnant women unable or […]
