Newborn boy survives toss from car window in Florida
NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) "” A newborn boy "” believed to be less than an hour old "” survived being thrown from a moving car onto a swale alongside a busy street Thursday afternoon, Broward County sheriff's officials said.
The car sped away, and investigators are seeking the parents of the eight-pound, two-ounce child whose umbilical cord was still attached when found by a woman passing by the scene.
Sheriff's spokesman Jim Leljedal said the unidentified woman who found the baby brought him to a nearby sheriff's office. The baby was taken to Broward General Medical Center, which upgraded his condition from critical to serious Thursday night.
"He's doing remarkably well and we're hopeful that he'll recover," Leljedal said.
Another sheriff's spokeswoman, Veda Coleman-Wright, said Thursday night that the boy is improving. It was unclear what injuries the baby may have suffered from being thrown.
Investigators are searching for a white, older-model large sedan that eyewitnesses observed leaving the scene. The woman who rescued the baby "” which was inside a small plastic bag when tossed from the car "” said she observed a man and woman arguing inside the vehicle.
The baby was thrown from the passenger side of the vehicle, landing three or four feet away in the grass. When the Good Samaritan approached what she thought was a package, it began to move and she realized a baby was inside.
No other information on the baby's identity was released Thursday night.
North Lauderdale is about 13 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale

To make things worst - FL has that "drop your baby off w/out punishment" law where you can drop your child off at a fire station, hospital - whatever w/out fear of prosecution. Hope they find who ever did it and boot them out of a moving vehicle w/a plastic bag around their head. Sick sick sick
Human Life has no value anymore. While this kind of thing angers me, its also not surprising at all and this country will continue to see more and more astonishing examples of this new generation of people who have been told all their lives unborn babies are not living human beings. They are conditioned to believe that, so its somewhat expected, things like this that happen.
The people that tortured those kids were white.Alot of the stuff I've seen was done by you evil caucasions.[8D] Don't try and blame it all on the folks of color.
