LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - A newborn was found in the grass near a parking lot of a Lake Charles hospital Tuesday night.
The baby girl was found by a woman coming out of the hospital around 8:30 p.m., Calcasieu Sheriff Tony Mancuso said. He said based on surveillance video from the area, it’s believed the newborn had been left about 15 minutes prior.
The woman was getting in her car to leave the hospital when she heard crying and found the baby naked, approximately 50 yards from the front door of the hospital, according to Kim Myers, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.
Mancuso said the baby is a “beautiful child and seems to be in good health now.”
Mancuso is asking the public for help identifying the person who left the baby. The person could be facing child abandonment and possibly other criminal counts.
The only description law enforcement have of the person is someone who was pregnant yesterday and isn’t today, Mancuso said. He also said the baby is African-American.
He urged the person who left the child to turn themselves in, saying that if they did so now, the courts may be more lenient.

My daughter turned one yesterday, and the thought of leaving her in a cold dark environment all alone makes me sick to my stomach.

Lake Charles is so damn trashy.

How they hell do they know that? It could be African- African. Fijian. Sudanese. Whatever. Unless it was crying in English or something. .

Abandoning a newborn in LA = criminal
Killing a newborn in VA/NY = questionable

But they still have a loop.

All she had to do was go and drop the baby off inside the hospital and she could have walked away clean under the safe haven law

I couldn’t put a puppy out like that.
The person that did this isn’t human.

Twice in one day? Some people should just not have children.

Well at least she didn’t abort the child. Kid faces long odds but you never know.

One of my pet peeves. "African American" contains two variables, which often are not known. Assuming every black person is an African-American is ridiculous.

y'all bitch about someone being unprepared to raise a kid leaving their unwanted baby in a place where it will be found and given medical attention and y'all bitch about women having abortions.

I mean she could have just put it up for adoption instead of leaving it outside on the fricking ground.
