How could you carry a baby for 9 months just to put it in a bag and toss it over a fence and leave? We have a law here in Washington where u can leave it at a hospital or fire station within 3days of birth with no questions asked. Thank god someone found this baby

MARYSVILLE, Wash. – A 17-year-old girl, in the U.S. on a visa, stands accused of dumping her newborn baby near a retention pond in Marysville, leaving him for dead.

The baby boy with the umbilical cord still attached was found in a black plastic garbage bag Saturday night, apparently after being tossed over a fence, police said. The newborn was covered in blood and appeared to be no more than a few hours old.

The baby suffered a mild case of hypothermia and was taken to Providence Everett Medical Center; at last report, the infant was doing OK.

A 17-year-old Hispanic girl, who lives across the cul-de-sac from the pond in a new development on the east side of town, was arrested Monday morning. She appeared in court on charges of child abandonment in the second degree, a class c felony. The girl has lived in the U.S. with her sister and brother in law for only three months; if convicted, she could be deported back to her home country.

Police followed a trail of blood droplets to her home and believe she is the mother but don’t have medical confirmation, nor did she confess, police Commander Steve Winters said. Medics examined her at the police station, then took her to an undisclosed hospital for treatment early Sunday, he added.

The baby was found about 11 p.m. Saturday night after his crying was heard by two couples who live next to the pond, Frank and Belinda Wright, who is nine months pregnant, and Mike and Brenda Wentland.

The baby was found about 11 p.m. Saturday night after his crying was heard by two couples who live next to the pond, Frank and Belinda Wright, who is nine months pregnant, and Mike and Brenda Wentland.

“I just knew it was a brand new baby cry,” said Belinda Wright.

“Belinda was pointing, saying it was a baby,” Mike Wentland said. “There was something in her voice that made me run and get my shoes, get my flashlight.”

The two men went to the chain-link fence.

“At first I thought it was an animal, because I’ve heard raccoons scream like that, but then we jumped the fence and saw that it was a baby,” Wentland said.

He said he climbed the fence and found the boy in a black garbage bag at the bottom of a slope with a swath of weeds slightly matted between the fence and the baby. In the glow of a flashlight, he saw “this little pale baby hand going like this, waving come get me to me…It was crying,” he said.

“It looked like they tossed it over the fence and it rolled down the hill,” Wentland said. “It’s lucky the baby landed on its back rather than its face” after coming to a stop.

Without the neighbors’ quick action, Winters said, “that child might very well have not made it through the evening.”

A 2002 state law allows a mother to abandon a baby anonymously without criminal prosecution, as long as the baby is less than three days old and is left safely with a hospital or fire station worker. Police say they expected to forward their case to the prosecutor’s office soon.
