MIRACLE CHILD! Newborn Baby Survives After Being Abandoned And Stabbed With Knife

A newborn baby girl survives after being found in a plastic bag with a rusty knife sticking out of her back.

The little girl who is believed to be just two days old was found with knife wounds, wrapped in a blanket and stuffed into a plastic bag.

Her crying attracted the attention of a passerby to her in the city of Posadas in the north-eastern Argentine province of Misiones.

Diego Sebastian Penayo, a 31-year-old gym instructor found the little girl wrapped in a blue and pink blanket inside a black plastic bag.

The little girl had a knife sticking out of her back and was still very much alive, reports said.

Diego Sebastian Penayo then took the baby girl to a closeby police station and she was later transferred to the Paediatric Hospital for treatment.

Doctors believed the girl was about two days old, and they found multiple knife wounds on her tiny body.

News site Clarin said the rusty knife was still sticking out from the infant’s back when she was found.

Police officers have reportedly identified the baby’s mother and arrested her.

Police told Clarin the yet to be name woman “gave birth and left Hospital Dr. Ramon Madariaga Treble to go to a nearby street, where she abandoned the newborn girl”.

A spokesperson for Hospital Dr. Fernando Barreyro, David Halac, told the newspaper Cronica that the baby had a rusty knife in her back along with several other injuries.

He also: “The baby is currently stable and we believe that she will survive.”

Mr Halac said the stab injuries were mostly superficial and had not damaged any organs.

Hospital officials have decided to call the baby girl Esperanza (Hope).

It is still unclear whether the arrested mother faces charges.
