Four-Month-Old Infant Allegedly Abandoned in Puerto Vallarta Neighborhood

Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco — A four-month-old baby was reportedly abandoned by his mother on Monday morning in the La Primavera neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta. According to neighbors, a woman allegedly left the infant, wrapped in blankets, on the corner of Cedro and Camino a Playa Grande. Concerned residents were drawn to the scene by the sound of the baby’s cries and promptly contacted authorities via the 911 emergency line.

Officers from the pink patrol car PV 439 arrived and found the baby crying, apparently from hunger. They provided immediate care, feeding him with a milk bottle. Investigations suggest the baby was left outside his father’s residence. The father, who reportedly does not live with the mother, was taken by surprise upon learning of the situation and declined to assume responsibility for the child.

Given the circumstances, the authorities transferred the infant to the DIF (Integral Family Development) system. He was subsequently placed under the care of the Office of the Attorney for the Defense of Minors, where officials will determine the child’s status and any legal responsibilities arising from the alleged abandonment.

Police are continuing their investigation into the incident. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact local law enforcement.
