Teen Boy Finds An Unwanted Baby Girl Placed In A Nike Shoebox At His Doorstep; This Story Will Melt Everyone's Heart

A 14-year-old boy from Suffolk County found a baby girl right outside their house's doorstep on November 8 around 9 pm. The baby was inside a Nike shoebox.

In an article published by The New York Post, Franklin Santos Ulloa, 14, was watching TV when he heard someone crying by their back door. He didn't mind it at first, but after ten minutes, he noticed that the crying seems not to cease. Their neighbor thought it was just a cat making a noise. The boy then opened their back door and found a healthy looking baby girl inside a shoebox. It seems like she was well taken care of before her mother finally decided just to give her up.

The baby was wrapped in a blanket with a sweater and a pink hat that is knitted. There was even a bottle of milk right next to her. The baby was just crying the whole time as if she knows she is being abandoned. Ulloa then called his neighbor to tell them what he found.

His friend, 37-year-old Victor Romero, answered Ulloa and took a look at the baby downstairs. He called his wife, and they decided to call 911 to report what they saw. Romero thought of still finding the person who left the baby by flashing lights in the area, but he found no one there.

The baby was rushed to the hospital nearby, and the doctors declared that she is indeed a healthy one. They weren't given to the people who found her but was rather placed under the custody of Suffolk County Child Protective Services and said that they will still be looking for the child's biological parents.

KSAT San Antonio also got a hold of this story confirming the age of the infant, who is only six months old. There must be a good reason why her parents just abandoned her like that.

These are not the first time that a baby was found in a shoebox somewhere. Watch the video below for a story just like this.
