A newborn baby girl was found alive inside a plastic bag in the woods.
On June 6, 2019, the footage was released by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office in which a man can be seen sitting down in the grass next to the infant and told emergency responders that heard the voice of the baby crying from his home.
“My kids said, ‘That’s a baby,’ and I said ‘That’s an animal,” the man says in the video.
The man explained that he later came out to check and informed the authorities. Police then reached the location and discovered the baby crying under the bag, covered in blood with the umbilical cord still attached.
They ripped the bag to uncover the crying baby.
“Look at you sweetheart. I’m so sorry,” an officer says.
Before sending the baby to a nearby hospital, police tightly wrapped the newborn in a number of blankets.
