AUSTIN (KXAN) — A newborn girl was found in a dumpster in north Austin Wednesday morning and now police are trying to piece together what happened. In an afternoon press conference, Austin police said the child is in fair condition.
The dumpster was located at the Mira Vista Apartment located at 9601 Middle Fiskville Rd., which is near Rundberg Lane. Austin police say they responded to a check welfare call around 6:55 a.m. after a passerby spotted the infant. A witness who saw the baby tells KXAN the girl still had her umbilical cord attached.

Tag line says it all. Words don’t fit.

Lord have mercy.
(I guess he did as someone lingered for a moment, or noticed that something was off and discovered the baby.)
These days, it wouldn’t surprize me at all to see people just keep walking. “Look at that, dear. Somebody threw away a perfectly good baby. Oh, well. None of our business.”
Prayers for this precious child.
God forgive us.
No passerby "happens to see" a baby in a dumpster. The welfare call had to be from the mother herself, or whomever helped her deliver & dispose of the baby.
May God have mercy on all of them.
I took this to mean that the man called 911. Otherwise, why ask the name of the apartment complex?
But, you're right, he's no passerby. I'd guess he was looking for something to eat or something discarded that he could use.
I’ll bet it wasn’t a Republican that did this dastardly deed.
That was once a good neighborhood but nowadays there are cop cars with flashing lights every night. I know a good retired couple that live a couple of blocks away and attend my church. The Lord must protect them because there is crime and break ins all around them yet they just live quietly.
Dear Lord, take care of this little child.
“A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.”
Pope St. John Paul II
Many women believe children are their property, to be disposed of at will, and that results in abortion and abandonment.
