American man in Chiang Mai finds newborn baby dumped on roadside

 

PIcture: Thai Rath

 

Thai Rath reported that an American man found a newborn baby girl by the side of the road yesterday. 

 

Eric R. was on his way back to his nearby condo when he saw a child's arm protruding from a cloth in the shade of a tree by some old car tires.

 

He opened the cloth up and found it was a fully formed and healthy baby. The little girl seemed to be breathing normally.

 

He texted a Thai friend who contacted the authorities.

 

The baby is now in the care of Nakhon Ping Hospital.

 

Police are looking at CCTV in the vicinity to find out who left the baby there. The child was found in Soi 3 of Kaew Nawarat Road.

 

They speculated it was probably the mother who had an unwanted pregnancy and didn't know what to do with the child.

Very sad. But she had 9 months to learn that there will always be couples only too willing to adopt.

Come on Mr. American....wear your mask properly...

 

don’t give the rest of us a bad name...image is everything!

[BritManToo]

All I can think is, she fits her uniform better than he fits his uniform.

 

Hope the baby is OK and finds a decent home with caring people.

Or it fell off the back of the motocy. Thank god the child was found quickly and will now hopefully be properly cared for. Possibly the worst possible event turning into the best possible future.

Sign of the times Im afraid this is the second one this week unfortunately the other one wasn't so lucky

[klauskunkel]

I think pretty much all Thais by now know how to use a mask and they are doing very well. Now it's time to teach them how to use condoms...

Thank you Mr. Eric R for your heads up and follow through.  Good on you.

Well done Eric a very good spot ????

Lucky Lucky Lucky ! We used to collect money from Golf tournaments and give to a local home/school for unwanted children. It would rip your heart out to see some of those kids who just wanted some attention and a hug.

[Brigand]

A good outcome and well spotted there Mr. Eric.

 

As an aside, she looks damned fine fitted into that tiny uniform but that is also one serious pair of piercing no-nonsense eyes and would rumble you in a second taking names and writing them down in that huge book.

[Grumpy one]

Its good to see someone keeping up the pointing

Girls like her who get pregnant don't think so she would never figure that out. She's one of the stupids and there are so so many in this society which thinks its okay to be stupid.

[rascalman]

How sad brings tears to my old eyes...

Life is to be embraced, loved and cherished not dumped in trash! I can only pray!!

I wouldn't call her stupid... that's giving her an excuse. She knew what she was doing and planned it. I would call her evil, with no respect for human life.

[ChaiyaTH]

Not sure if they follow up on this but I would have a proper baby crib left-over that otherwise was going to a garage sale.

[Blackheart1916]

Well played young man.

Or maybe young, poor, scared, mental health issues, not too smart, homeless, etc, or any combination of these.

Maybe she was raped by an Uncle

Thanks be to the gentleman who was observant and so kind to save a precious innocent life.
