A heart-wrenching incident unfolded in the early hours of Sunday, March 24, in an apartment building in Saint-Étienne, France. Residents were jolted awake by the sound of a baby crying, which seemed to be coming from the building’s trash room. As they emerged from their apartments, they were met with a gruesome sight – bloodstains leading to the basement corridor.
The neighbors immediately sprang into action, calling emergency services to report the cries and blood, which suggested that the baby had just been born. The emergency responders promptly arrived at the scene, including a team from the Loire Samu and the Départemental Fire and Rescue Service of Loire.
One of the physicians on the scene quickly provided medical attention to the newborn, who was suffering from hypothermia and still had the umbilical cord attached. Fortunately, despite the dire circumstances, the baby’s life was not in danger. The infant was rushed to the CHU of Saint-Étienne for further care and treatment.
The incident has sparked a thorough investigation, and authorities are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the baby’s abandonment. As the community comes to terms with this shocking discovery, one thing is clear – the swift actions of the neighbors and emergency responders saved the life of this innocent newborn.
