Baby boy left for dead in Bangkok canal

A newborn baby boy has been found floating earlier this week in a canal at Soi Pracha Uthit 107, Bangkok.

According to a report from Khaosod, a resident in the area found the baby and asked her neighbors to help her rescue him from the canal. The baby was brought to a hospital and was said to have a 50-50 chance of surviving after being left in the water for hours.

Police believe that his parents intentionally left the baby there. They suspect that the baby might be the result of a teenage pregnancy.
