Police officers discovered a newborn baby girl abandoned in a tote bag outside a Bronx apartment, leading to concerns about increasing incidents of infant abandonment.
Neighbors expressed their shock and disbelief over the abandonment, with one stating, 'I can't get it through my head how somebody would do that,' highlighting the disturbing nature of the event.
The New York State's Abandonment Infant Protection Act allows parents to surrender their child without charges, but mandates that infants must be safely dropped off at approved locations.
A recent article in The Washington Post noted a troubling trend of abandoned babies, citing multiple incidents of infants left in dangerous locations in Houston.
