park near the seaside in Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do.
Police cars and 119 ambulances arrive one after another.
The paramedics packed their gear and hurriedly ran to the public restroom, and after about five minutes, wrapped something in a sky blue blanket, returned to the ambulance and left immediately.
Yesterday, around 3pm, a tourist report was received by 119 that a newborn baby was thrown into the toilet in a public toilet.
It is known that the newborn girl was lying naked in the toilet with the umbilical cord attached to her, undressed.
When paramedics arrived, his heart was already beating.
After receiving CPR, the baby was taken to the hospital by emergency helicopter.
[Goseong Fire Station official: I was dispatched to cardiac arrest, and when I arrived at the scene, the placenta and the umbilical cord were together. Paramedics performed on-site CPR and transported them to Gangneung Asan Hospital through the helicopter of the Gangwon Fire Department.] The
baby being treated in the neonatal intensive care unit is in critical condition, unable to breathe on its own.
Police believe that the mother abandoned the baby after giving birth in the bathroom and ran away.
It is known that it is difficult to identify the identity because there are few CCTV cameras as it is a newly established park while checking CCTV around the park, asking witnesses, and looking for the missing mother.
