A newborn baby girl was found abandoned near a Texas walking path on a hot Saturday morning, wrapped in a towel. The couple who discovered her were out early to avoid the heat when their 3-year-old daughter spotted the infant. The baby, born premature with her umbilical cord still attached, was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Authorities are searching for the young man believed to have left the baby on a bridge at the start of the walking trail in Katy. The man, described as slim with a fair complexion and black hair, could face charges of abandonment and endangerment of a child. Fortunately, Texas has a Safe Haven law that allows for unharmed child abandonment without fear of prosecution.
The couple who found the baby expressed shock and disbelief at the situation. The community is rallying behind the newborn girl, offering support and prayers for her well-being. Hopefully, she will find a loving home and bright future despite the circumstances of her early days.
