“It Just Freaked Me Out" - 9-Year-Old Finds Abandoned Newborn Baby Near Pig Pen

Story out of Lowell, Indiana:

A 9-year-old girl in northwest Indiana found an abandoned infant on Monday morning in her family’s back yard. Elysia Laub found the infant at first thought the baby was a piglet. That’s because her family keeps pigs in a pen.

“It just freaked me out, I didn’t know what it was,” she tells CBS 2’s Brad Edwards.

She screamed for her mom, Heidi, who was incredulous. The baby still had placenta and umbilical cord attached. Initial investigation indicates that the newborn was at that location for an unknown period of time between several hours up to more than one day.

The newborn was taken to St. Anthony’s Hospital for emergency medical treatment. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
