In a miraculous turn of events, a newborn baby girl was rescued after being abandoned in long grass in Phetchabun province. The baby, wrapped in a blanket and placed inside a plastic bag, was found alive and is now under medical care.

 

The incident came to light when a 28-year-old woman from Phetchabun, identified only as Ms. Sujitra, was admitted to Lom Sak Hospital due to excessive bleeding and abdominal pain. Upon questioning, she admitted to having given birth and leaving the newborn in the area located in Wat Pa Subdistrict, Lom Sak District. Rescue workers from the Kok Sai Rescue Unit were immediately dispatched to search for the baby.

 

 

Upon arrival, they found a yellow plastic bag in a grassy area, partially hidden among tall vegetation. Inside, they discovered a green plastic basin containing a blue cloth. To their shock, the cloth moved, revealing the presence of a newborn. The baby, who was still alive, was immediately rushed to Lom Sak Hospital for urgent care.

 

Authorities revealed that Ms. Sujitra had delivered the baby herself, wrapped her in towels, and placed her in the basin before abandoning her in the forest. The baby girl is now stable under the care of medical professionals. Police are continuing their investigation to determine the mother’s motives for abandoning the child.

 

As news of the baby’s survival spread, local villagers seized upon the baby’s birth weight as potential lucky numbers for the upcoming lottery draw on October 16. Many have already rushed to buy tickets in the hopes that the baby’s extraordinary fortune might bring them luck.

 

The investigation into the case continues, while the baby remains safe under hospital care.

Great news the baby was found alive. 

 

I'm surprised we don't read more stories about abandoned babies.

No welfare, social security payments and at times the father disappearing before birth and the government not garnishing wages, these poor women struggle to feed themselves, now a new born, it's tough for them, she's probably scared and alone. If these mothers had the resources as the west offers, maybe a social worker or similar could give her advice, suggesting adoption etc.
