Louisiana authorities have done a great job in finding a baby abandoned overnight in a field along Plank Road. The child was miraculously discovered alive and healthy on Wednesday after an hours-long search by police and first responders on the ground and a helicopter overhead.
Amazing story. Hope he’s placed in a safe and loving home.
Why did his mother do that? She needs mental assessment and he needs protection from her.
There are coyotes who could have found him first.
Louisiana’s Safe Haven Law provides a safe, legal, last resort to abandonment, allowing a parent to give up custody of a newborn up to 60 days old by bringing the baby to an emergency designated facility, or Safe Haven site.
That wee one looks older than 60 days.
The note with him said:
“Please make sure that he is raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent”.
