A newborn baby was found abandoned in a black plastic bag on the streets of Ciudad Azteca, in the municipality of Ecatepec, with signs of hypothermia. The infant was discovered by local police officers under some bushes after an alert was generated by concerned residents.
According to reports, the chief of Sector 19, Alejandra Girón Peralta, responded promptly to the call and arrived at the scene within minutes of receiving the alert. She immediately took charge of the situation, prioritizing the baby’s life and transporting her to the José María Rodríguez General Hospital for medical attention.
The abandoned baby was rushed to the hospital, where she was placed in an incubator and received supplemental oxygen due to her fragile condition. Medical personnel treated her symptoms of hypothermia with antibiotics and vitamins. Members of the Special Operations Group and Navy personnel provided perimeter protection and accompaniment during the emergency transfer.
Following the initial medical attention, the baby remains under constant observation in the hospital’s neonatal ward, where her condition is reported to be stable but critical. Doctors are maintaining a specialized care protocol to strengthen the child’s vital signs and monitor her progress.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage among residents of Ciudad Azteca, who are demanding justice and prompt follow-up on the case by authorities. In response, the State of Mexico government has opened an investigation into the abandonment, led by the San Agustín Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The head of Sector 19 filed a formal complaint for the crime of abandonment of an incapacitated person, and ministerial authorities have launched a probe to identify those responsible for the minor’s abandonment. The public is being asked to collaborate with any information that will help clarify the case and bring perpetrators to justice.
This incident has highlighted the need for increased vigilance in protecting children’s rights and has prompted authorities to reiterate their commitment to safeguarding vulnerable individuals.
