A dumpster is not a safe haven’: Baby found alive after cries heard from motel dumpster while legal drop-off spots sat empty nearby

A newborn baby boy was found alive in a dumpster behind a motel in Columbus, Georgia, this past Tuesday, after a report was made to the police that someone had heard a baby crying. According to the Columbus Police Department’s statement to WRBL News 3, the infant was taken to Piedmont Columbus Regional Hospital for treatment after being found behind the Budgetel Inn.

This incident is being handled by the Columbus Police Department’s Special Victims Unit, which is working closely with the Division of Family and Children Services to ensure the baby’s safety and determine the next steps for his care. Reports say the baby is doing well and is being kept in the NICU for further care.
