After being reported missing an eight-month-old baby has been found.
The baby boy named Niguel Jackson was abandoned in a field last week, in low temperatures close to 50 degrees, but was found “healthy” and “alive” after police searched for hours with the help of police helicopters and first responders, according to The Advocate.
A spokesperson for the Baton Rouge Police Department confirmed that the baby boy did not have any obvious injuries or signs of trauma, but was taken to the local hospital to be evaluated, according to WAFB9.
EMS spokesperson Mike Chuzta told The Advocate that the baby “didn’t even cry” during the rescue.
“The timing didn’t give us a lot of hope, but the baby was tough,” he explained.
Chuzta told WAFB9 that during the recovery “medics jumped on him and started treating him right away” and that he thinks that the baby is “gonna be fine.”
The mother arrived at a local fire station in the evening and was brought to the hospital. The next day when being transferred to a different facility, officials say she spoke up about the baby, according to The Advocate.
