Karen and Kayla Seals decided to investigate after hearing what they thought was a dog making noise in the neighbor’s yard.Instead, they discovered an 8-month-old baby girl who had been packed in a white plastic trash bag and allowed to die. “Her legs hung limply in the bag.” Her head was stuffed inside the sack. Kayla Seals, a reporter, said, “Her entire head was covered all the way down.”

Police apprehended the child’s mother, Harriette Hoyt, 17, who was later charged with attempted second-degree murder. They believe the child lived for more than 72 hours without food or water. It’s nothing short of a miracle.The sisters contacted 911 after discovering the bag in their neighbor’s yard and took the child into their home. She was filthy—soiled clothes, a soiled diaper, and a rash on various regions of her body.

“I mean, she wasn’t even breathing, honey, and her eyes weren’t even open,” Kayla explained. “So I ripped the sack she was in. It was like a rubbish bag, with her head at the bottom. Her legs were protruding from the front of the bag. She wasn’t even breathing. She opened her mouth and I dropped some water in there, and she began gasping. Her eyes wouldn’t open, so I cleansed them and said, ‘Come on, baby!

Come on, kid! ‘Come on, sweetie!’ “She then opened up to me.”Kayla believes God led her to find the infant on Tuesday afternoon. He encouraged her to examine the noise of what she suspected was an abused animal. “It was God’s command that I go do this, that all of us go see what was going on.” And I thank God for that.”

The infant girl is likely to recover completely. One thing is certain: if Kayla and Karen had not listened to their intuition and heeded what the Holy Spirit was telling them, no one knows what would have occurred. Congratulations on a fantastic outcome to a problem that could have turned out very differently.
