After neighbors of an apartment complex in Riverside, California, claimed to have heard a baby’s cries emanating from the vicinity, the small newborn was discovered sobbing next to the trash on Sunday afternoon.
The mother who left the defenseless newborn is currently the subject of a relentless police search.
According to a Riverside Police Department news release, the defenseless newborn was still breathing when officers arrived at the 3800 block of Jackson Street at 2:30 pm.
Officers discovered a newborn boy lying next to a dumpster, breathing, sobbing, and with the umbilical chord still attached when they arrived, according to the news release.
The infant was taken by paramedics to a hospital just across the street, where he is currently said to be in “good health and stable condition.”
