ITALY: A newborn baby was found in a field where it had been left in a plastic bag.

A farmer in Trapani, Italy, had a shocking start to his day when he found a newborn baby left in a plastic bag.

The baby was found in a field near a school in the village of Paceco. The police saved it because it was still alive.

 

The baby was taken to the hospital right away, but luckily it wasn’t in danger of dying.

The baby was found in an open plastic bag. His or her umbilical cord had already been cut. Since the placenta was also in the bag, it’s likely that the mother gave birth at home.

 

In the meantime, the police and doctors want to call the baby Francesco, after the first officer who held it.

The Police have launched an investigation to find the mother.
