A woman abandoned her 4-month-old baby in the woods of Michigan Wednesday morning. Thankfully, deputies found the baby.
According to a report, two local residents called 911 to report a distraught, erratic woman banging on doors in the area. They said that the woman claimed “someone with guns” was chasing her at 8:30 in the morning.
When the cops arrived at the scene, the woman had already gone. However, they met staff from the nearby Waldon Middle School and reported that they met “a frantic woman.”
Abandoned Baby Boy
Apparently, deputies also heard from an anonymous report that the woman had a son. Witnesses said that they saw burns on her pants, with evidence that she’d been in the woods. As a result, the police started a search for the baby. They looked for him around the school, in the neighborhood, and the around woman’s home.
After 30-minutes, they found the boy in Oakland County “cold and wet but breathing.”
“Thankfully, deputies were able to determine a baby was missing, which triggered an immediate large response and search. And they were able locate the child,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a statement. “Their quick work avoided what could have been an unspeakable tragedy.”
The Oakland County Sheriff’s office said that after spending the night at the hospital, the baby would be in the care of child protective services.
