The baby, with its umbilical cord still attached, was found by local villagers in a rubber plantation hut near Ban None Sawan village in Tambon Khao Luang in Wang Saphung district at 2pm on Monday. The baby was rushed to the district hospital and forwarded to Loei Hospital. Pol Colonel Samnao Kruikrathok, chief of the Wang Saphung police station, said the force had learned that the mother is 38-year-old local resident of the village. Samnao said the mother disappeared after the delivery apparently because she feared her husband would harm her. Samnao said police would try to arrest the mother and charge her with abandoning and endangering a baby.
