Newborn baby girl abandoned in the bushes survives
A newborn baby girl who was thrown into thorny bushes and left for dead by her parents in India miraculously survived after a passerby heard her cries.
The infant was found naked, bloodied and covered in dirt in the prickly bushes in the Indian city of Una, heartbreaking photos show.
After the baby — with several thorns puncturing her skin — let out wailing cries, a passerby walked over and found her lying on the ground, The Mirror reported.
The Good Samaritan alerted rescuers who rushed the baby to a hospital where doctors said she would have died if she hadn’t been found, according to the news outlet.
Doctors said the child is recovering and is in stable condition.
Police are trying to track down the parents who they believe dumped their daughter intentionally, The Mirror reported.
According to the news outlet, baby girls are considered to be a “curse” and a “financial burden” in poor areas of India.
