Stories like this break my heart. Having a baby is supposed to be a beautiful moment – but it often can be a burden that is too much for people to bear. A man was on his way to work in Chelyabinsk, Russia. He was walking and decided to take a shortcut through the woods – and then he heard a strange noise.

Curious about the source of the noise, he went to find out what was where it was coming from. He found a three-day-old baby laying on a pile of leaves.
The infant was covered in ants and still had her umbilical cord attached. The baby girl’s skin was red and swollen from all the ant bites.
