A missing 8-month-old is safe and sound after spending the night in an open field where his mother abandoned him.

The child didn't appear to be hurt and was taken to a hospital for precautionary medical treatment after crews located him, according to Baton Rouge police.

The Baton Rouge Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services helped in the search for the child after learning he was alone, The Advocate reported. A helicopter spotted a baby in the air while emergency responders scoured the area on foot.

The child didn't even cry during the rescue, according to Mike Chustz.

The timing didn't give us a lot of hope, but the baby was tough.

The baby's mother led first responders to the area near a church where she left her child the day before, according to fire department officials. She showed up at a fire station and was taken to a hospital.

According to the news station, she mentioned leaving her baby in a field during her treatment.

The Baton Rouge Fire Department was waiting for a response from the news organization.

Police said the incident remains under investigation.

Sharon Weston Broome thanked first responders and the community for their efforts to find the missing boy. If residents are experiencing a crisis, she pointed them to mental health services.

The Lord guided your efforts today.
