SUMMARY: A newborn baby girl was abandoned on a bridge in Harris County just hours after birth, left exposed in the hot South Texas sun. The baby still had a fresh placenta attached. Around 9:00 a.m., a couple found her wrapped in a towel and immediately called 911. Paramedics arrived quickly and took her to the hospital where she is now recovering well. The incident was caught on security cameras, and detectives are currently searching for the man responsible, who will face charges of child endangerment and abandonment. The family who found the baby expressed disbelief and gratitude for being there in time to save her life.

Just as the sun was rising in the sky Saturday morning, a baby was born. Before lunch, a man dumped the baby on a walking trail near a bayou in Harris County.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says the baby was found wrapped in a towel around 9 a.m. at the end of a cul-de-sac on Casa Martin Drive.
