Nashville man finds baby girl left in front of his house
Metro police are investigating the case of an infant left in a South Nashville front yard.
A man found a newborn baby girl about 6 p.m. Friday as he worked in his yard at 407 McDonald Drive, police said.
Contacted Saturday at home, the man, Joel Stitt, said he was speaking only to police.
The baby was sunburned but otherwise unhurt. She was taken to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt for observation and then given to the Department of Children’s Services.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 862-8600.

[JR: A sad testiment to a family failure; good that the man was there to rescue the child. Who knows what could have happened? Hope we are all alert to our opportunities. Not all of them are as blatant as a baby on your lawn. Personally, I need easy "grounders" like that one. I'll leave the big challenges to my fellow Jaspers who are so much better than I am.]
