Incredible Discovery This horrifying discovery was unexpected. On the night from Saturday to Sunday, March 23 to 24, at 4:30 AM, the residents of the Saint-Étienne building heard loud crying, similar to a child’s cry.
Blood Stains The sound led them, and they noticed blood stains. Following them, they arrived at the hallway in front of the basement, then the waste storage room.
A Baby in a Storage Bin At the scene, they discovered a newborn baby alone in the bin. The baby’s crying and the presence of blood indicated that the newborn had just been born, and the neighbors immediately alerted emergency services.
Emergency Services Notification The Loire County Fire and Rescue Service (SDIS) sent a team to the scene, as reported by Le Progrès.
Quick Care One of the doctors from the team quickly attended to the newborn, who still had the umbilical cord and was suffering from hypothermia. Despite this, the baby was in good health, and there was no danger to their life, according to France Bleu.
Investigation Launched The baby was transported to the Saint-Étienne University Hospital, where they remained on Sunday, March 24. The police have opened an investigation into “attempted murder.”
Police Statement “If they hadn’t intervened so quickly, the baby might not have survived,” said the police.
Pregnancy Denial According to the initial investigation results, the child’s mother, a 20-year-old woman who also lived in the building, denied being pregnant. She gave birth alone in the bathroom and then placed the baby in the storage bin.
Police Work The police followed the bloodstains to the woman’s apartment. They knocked, and the mother answered the door.
The Mother is Also in the Hospital The mother was transported to the Nord City Hospital. She was taken into custody, and investigators will be able to question her once her health allows it.
