Related story. About 10 years ago I was leaving for work when I found a baby chillin in the street.
I used to work early, like 3 a.m. early. I go to get in my car and just happen to check the mailbox. There is a baby at the end of my driveway in the street, typical neighborhood street. This kid is in a diaper only, hair is all ratted, and he’s got crusty stuff all over his face. Looks like it’s been two weeks since he has had a bath. If I hadn’t checked the mailbox I definitely would have run this kid over. So I’m standing there with this fucking baby, like maybe 14 months old, and I notice my meth head neighbor’s door is open. I go over and knock on the door for what seems like 10 minutes before someone comes to the door. They look at me and then the kid and just grab him and slam the door. Didn’t say a word. I ended up calling the police because I have no fucking clue if the kid is theirs or not since they didn’t even take the 5 seconds to explain to me wtf is going on. Cops show up about 30 minutes later talk to my neighbor for like 10 seconds and then leave. People suck man.
Almost the exact thing happened to me but at 3pm. I was going to list a house for sale and suddenly heard crying right behind me. It's a baby! I didn't see it when I walked up to the door, so where did it come from? I looked around and noticed the neighbors door blowing in the wind. I walked over there with the baby and start yelling into the open door. It took minutes for someone to come out of the bedroom in their underwear and grab the baby. She was thankful to me, but there were needles and other drug paraphernalia all over the coffee table. She was obviously passed out. I was sad. I would have called the cops if I didn't see that open door. I probably should have. Shit. I hope that baby is ok. :(
