A man was caught on CCTV footage dumping a newborn baby on the side of a trail, leaving a couple shocked and heartbroken. Daniela Fedele and her husband were out for a walk in Katy, Texas when they made a startling discovery. As they walked along Casa Martin Drive, they noticed a towel on the ground and their three-year-old daughter was about to ride her bike towards it. But just as they were about to dismiss it as a discarded piece of fabric, they saw something moving underneath it.
Fedele quickly realized that it was a baby, with her umbilical cord still attached. She was shocked and immediately told her husband to call 911 for help. The CCTV footage captured the moment when the man abandoned the baby on the ground and quickly left the scene. It is unclear how long the newborn had been there before Fedele found her.
The Harris County Sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene after receiving a call at 9pm. They praised the couple for rescuing the baby and called them a "blessing." Sgt. Juan Garcia from the Child Abuse Unit noted that the baby was a newborn with fresh placenta, indicating that she had been born that morning. The temperature was hovering around 30°C during a heatwave, and Fedele and her husband made sure to keep the baby out of the sun.
The couple reported seeing a man running away just moments before they discovered the abandoned baby. They described him as a young Hispanic or white male with a slim build and fair complexion, wearing a black shirt and possibly grey pants. The police have launched an investigation to find the man and determine the circumstances surrounding the abandonment.
The baby was taken to a local hospital and reported to be in good condition. However, Fedele is haunted by the experience and wonders how anyone could abandon a helpless baby. She urges anyone in a similar situation to drop off the baby at a fire station, police station, or hospital instead of leaving them vulnerable by themselves.
Cases of abandonment are rare, and the police are determined to find the responsible party. The CCTV footage and descriptions provided by the couple will hopefully lead to the man's identification and arrest. In the meantime, the community is rallying around the abandoned baby, offering her love and support. The incident serves as a reminder to always consider the safety and well-being of others, especially those who cannot defend themselves.
