Police are trying to locate the mother of a 2-month-old infant abandoned in Sattahip.
Chalerm Saenrath, 68, found the baby on her doorstep on Rin Suanluang Chumpon road in Moo 2 village Sept 26. The child appeared healthy but was brought to Queen Sirikit Naval Medical Center for a full checkup.
Chalerm said she was working around the house and, when she came to the front, she saw something wrapped in cloth. At first she first thought it was a teddy bear that somebody forgot. She approached the cloth to see it was moving and found that it was a baby.
A rescue worker takes the abandoned infant to the hospital for a checkup.
She took the baby and tried to find the mother but there was no hope, which made her confident that the baby was abandoned.
Police are checking local closed-circuit cameras to see if they can identify the mother. However, neighbors told police they believe they know who she is.
