Rescuers find baby abandoned in woods

A 5-month-old infant who miraculously survived more than nine hours being buried under a pile of sticks and debris in the woods of western Montana suffered only minor injuries despite wearing wet and soiled clothes in cold weather, authorities said yesterday. The baby boy is otherwise in good condition, authorities said. Missoula County Sheriff’s deputies said the baby was found after a man threatening people in the Lolo Hot Springs area indicated that a baby was buried somewhere in the woods. A search was started and the baby was found face-down under the pile of sticks and debris, dressed only in a wet and soiled onesie in the 8C weather.
