Newborn Baby Found in Grass

A newborn baby boy, only a few hours old, was found in a grassy area in Lewis Center, Ohio this past Tuesday. The tiny infant was found right off the

U.S. Route 23 on your way to Meijer store, naked. It seems his mother gave birth and just left him where it happened or just dropped him off in a grassy area and either drove away or walked off.

Here’s what the caller said to the police:

“I just found a newborn baby on the side, like in the grass, when I was driving to work and I don’t know what to do,” the woman told the 911 dispatcher.

“Can you tell approximately how old the child is?” the dispatcher asked.

“I have no idea. Small, not scary small, but new,” the woman said.

Investigators said they believed the infant was no more than a few hours old, 10TV’s Glenn McEntyre reported.

“The baby had no clothing, wasn’t wrapped in anything and still had the umbilical cord attached,” said Delaware County Sheriff Walter Davis.

Paramedics speculated that the infant may not have survived lying there for another hour, Kocot reported.

The child was found just 100 yards from a day care center.

Currently they have no clue who the mother or father is of this child, any tips would be helpful. The baby boy is expected to make a full recovery, even though it was dropped off during one of the hottest points of the day.
