ĐỒNG NAI — An abandoned infant was rescued by locals in Trảng Bom District in the southern province of Đồng Nai.

On Sunday, Nguyễn Thị Trang, head of Sông Trầu Commune Women’s Union, announced that the baby’s health had stabilised following four days of care.

On October 25, a resident heard strange sounds coming from a waste bin, which led to the discovery of the baby girl, who was wrapped in a plastic bag, without any information attached.

Immediately, the women’s union and Sông Trầu Commune’s Department for Children Protection transferred her to the Trảng Bom District Medical Centre for a check-up.

According to Trang, the local authority is making announcements hoping to find the infant’s family. After one week, if there is no response, it will begin procedures for adoption for couples unable to have a biological child. — VNS
