Police Working to Identify Louisiana Child Found Near Intersection

It is hard to believe this is happening, but police officials are working to figure out the parents or guardians of a child who was found near an intersection in New Orleans according to WBRZ.

It is almost unbelievable to imagine that the parents of this little boy who is said to be between 12 and 18 months have not come forward to claim their little boy.

Officials say they do not know anything about the little boy, they don't know who he belongs to and no one has come forward yet claiming to be the child's parents or guardians.

This little boy was found near the intersection of Chef Menteur Highway and Wilson Drive in New Orleans.

NOPD officials say they do want to talk to Makayla Ryan as a person of interest in connection with the case. They say she is not in trouble, but they think she may know something about the child.

If you think you might know this child, or if you have any information about who this child belongs to, you are asked to contact the New Orleans Police Department's Special Victims Division Child Abuse Unit at 504-658-5267.
