A Tehran garbageman discovered this baby boy in a plastic bag thrown into a dumpster. The unnamed garbageman was emptying the dumpster when he noticed a plastic bag moving. He pulled the bag out of the dumpster, opened it and discovered this baby, with its umbilical cord still attached. The Interior Ministry has said about 3,000 babies and toddlers are abandoned each year, primarily by parents who cannot afford to feed and care for the child. News reports said the baby was quickly taken to a hospital and is in stable condition.
