Los Angeles, CA – Just 30 minutes ago, a heartbreaking discovery sent shockwaves through the community: a newborn baby was found abandoned in a local park, wrapped in a thin hospital blanket with no note, no identification, and no adult in sight.
What followed, however, turned tragedy into a story of overwhelming hope.
In an extraordinary act of kindness, Los Angeles Dodgers sensation Shohei Ohtani has stepped forward to become the child’s guardian, personally pledging to cover all living expenses and care until the child turns 18 years old.
👶 Tragedy in the Park
Early this morning at Echo Park Lake, a jogger noticed what they thought was a doll lying under a bench. But as they got closer, they heard soft crying. It was a real baby—believed to be no more than a day old. Local authorities were immediately alerted, and the child was rushed to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where doctors say the baby is now stable and recovering well.
Police have launched an investigation to identify the parents or any witnesses to the abandonment. But in the meantime, the child’s future was suddenly transformed by an unexpected hero.
