The baby was immediately taken to hospital after her discovery and will remain there until she makes a full recovery, The Daily Mail reports. She turned out to be frequently bitten by all kinds of bugs and insects and suffered several bruises. She was also dehydrated.
Local villagers found her by chance in the forest in Krabi province. The child had no clothes on and was lying on some large banana leaf plants. She started to cry when the passers-by picked her up. They immediately called the emergency services. According to doctors, the girl is likely to survive without further health problems. That can safely be called a small miracle, especially in view of the dangerous animals that walk in the forest in Thailand. If you’re not careful, you can step on a cobra or python snake.
It is unclear where the mother of the child is. “The newborn girl had worms and insects crawling all over her body. The mother probably gave birth elsewhere and left the child in the middle of the hill,” said a police source. He announces that she will be prosecuted if she is found. “The baby could have died and whoever left her must have known that.”
In Thailand, babies are often left to their own devices. This year, for example, a child was found in a meal delivery box by a taxi driver on a motorcycle.
