I found this article on www.6abc.com, The article is about a baby girl who was dropped off on a side walk and was discovered by a 77 year old man. The baby is currently named as Jane Doe because she has no name. The 77 year old man is Mr. Homer Keller. He noticed the box at West Huntington and North 27th Street while he was cleaning up the area for a local church. He noticed the box a little after 10 AM. He picked it up because he thought it was trash. He heard whimpering and he thought it was cats or something. Then , he heard crying. When he first opened it, he thought it was a baby doll but then it began to move and cry. The baby was wrapped up in a hounds tooth blanket, an adult sized brown women's sweater, a black bathrobe and a large peach colored bath towel.
If the mother did not want the baby she could of just dropped it off at a police station or hospital and no questions would have been asked. The baby was dumped near a daycare so maybe there was a chance that they were trying to dump the child off at the daycare .
She could of just gave the child up for adoption if she did not want it. Then again she could of have been hiding her pregnancy from her family which I find very hard to do with the big belly but maybe she pulled it off. Once again, adoption would have been the best choice for the baby. Instead of dropping it off on the sidewalk for trash day. The child would have been killed if it were to be thrown into the trash truck.
