A 19 year old Thai student left her newborn baby on a fire escape after giving birth, having kept her pregnancy a secret from friends and family. Her 19 year old boyfriend found out only after discovering the baby on the fire escape.

 

This morning police in the city of Pak Kret in Nonthaburi province received reports from concerned citizens who found the abandoned baby on the fire escape of a condominium’s fourth floor. Upon arrival, the authorities discovered a newborn baby girl with her umbilical cord still attached, lying on a pink towel with traces of blood.

Police and charity volunteers quickly transferred the baby to the Pak Kret Irrigation Hospital. After conducting a thorough investigation, officers discovered that the baby belonged to a 19 year old university student named ‘A’ (real name withheld) who resided in a room on the fourth floor of the same building.

I guess they must have all been too busy playing with their phones to notice anything?

Else they would have recorded it and posted it!

Seems odd, nine months pregnant, family, boyfriend and friends never noticed anything...

Another infant adult.

Weird that everybody is talking about how people did not notice the pregnancy, but nobody is concerned about this wonderful little baby who needs to be cared for, and loved.

 

Also strange is the blurring of baby's face, it's a baby for Christ's sake, nobody is going to recognize him/her in coming years!

I cannot believe how this is physically possible.

And obviously, the boyfriend found the baby because it was probably crying like babies do. He said he thought the weight gain was because of her menstrual cycle.........which stops as a sure sign of pregnancy. Fool!

Her boyfriend, ‘B’ (real name withheld), claimed he was unaware of his girlfriend’s pregnancy until he found out about the abandoned baby.

I don't think the boyfriend discovered the baby on the fire escape.

When women are very fat, they don't show as much as slim women who have an obvious pregnancy bulge.  They often look like they have simply put on weight.
