Baby Found Under Bed


In heartwarming news that we could all use today, given the other big story of the afternoon, after being missing for 5 days, a baby was found under a bed in Florida, at the home of her babysitter.

Police say they were stunned to find the baby in a box under the woman's bed, where she as apparently trying to hide it. Officers were reportedly crying on the scene, saying they'd never seen anything like it and feeling full of relief that the baby was found alive...

Investigators spent five days searching dense vines and marshes for a missing infant, only to find her lying quietly in a 2-foot by 3-foot cedar box that had been shoved under her baby sitter's bed.

And parent's didn't suspect babysitter sooner? I guess some parent's would drop off their children and the local prison if they could for babysitting services. Hat off to the hard work of the community, neighbors and authorities for their efforts. But what does this say about the parents????

Once again - bless the Law Enforcement Officers for their diligence and compassion - all other volunteer searchers too...I hope the babysitter is given access to qualified mental health professionals as well, she obviously meant the child no harm. Thank you for the good news story.

it breaks my heart to see all these young children..tossed around like garbage ...poor babies !!!.. how any mother or father could look at their sweet little faces when they are born...and then take their life ..or use a sitter like this to care for their own child .. it annoys me terribly . there are so many wonderful mothers who would do almost any thing to have a sweet baby ..laws should be tougher on cruel people like this . my prayers are with these small children ....GOD loves you ...sincerly ...pauline

Its not the parnets fault that the lady was a crazy person. She may have been a family friend or anything. How were they supposed to know that she would steal their baby.

You cant always look at a person and tell they are crazy or have mental issues. For all we know, the parents could have done a background check and gotten references. Dont be so quick to judge them. Be happy for them that their baby is alive!!!!!! BLAME THE PERSON WHO DID THE CRIME!!!!

Someone was looking after this baby, not just the babysitter. People want to believe that most people are honest and wouldn't do anything like steal their baby. This baby has a guardian angel watching over it and I am so releaved to know baby is back with mom and dad.
