Newborn left on beach: Baby girl unidentified but doing well at hospital, A newborn left on a beach in Hawaii is doing well thanks to one woman who found the baby and took her to the hospital. The incident happened at Sandy Beach in Hawaii and the Associated Press via ABC News shared the details on April 29. At this time nobody has come forward for the child.
The baby was an 8-pound full-term baby girl who was left on the beach shortly after her birth. The baby was in the sand crying when she was found shortly after midnight. Luckily the child is doing well at the hospital and the Department of Human Services is handling the details. If nobody comes forward identifying the baby, the state will try to get permission from the court to release a photo of the newborn left on the beach.
Hawaii, as is the case with most states, does have a baby safe haven law. The state put the law into place in 2007, and so far nobody in Hawaii has taken advantage of it. Those following the story are glad to hear the newborn left on the beach is doing well, but hope that those responsible for leaving the baby girl where she may not have survived will be found and held responsible.
