It’s unclear exactly how long the babies were exposed to the frigid temperatures, but authorities expressed relief that Deane found them when he did. Indianapolis police spokesman William Young said, “It’s cold here.
Who knows what could have happened if this particular individual hadn’t been able to get out? “It’s very cold and we’re still in the early stages of trying to find out who was responsible for this.” Young praised Deane for his quick actions, saying: “He did what any good person would do. He took those babies to the shelter, he told IndyStar.

This heartbreaking case comes on the heels of another tragic event in Los Angeles, where a newborn baby was found dead after being thrown from a fourth-floor window on Skid Row.
Police say the baby was discovered in an alley off the 500 block of San Pedro Street in downtown Los Angeles at 5:30 a.m. Thursday. A passerby attempted to perform CPR on the baby while waiting for emergency services, but the newborn was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities suspect the baby may have been thrown from a fourth-floor bathroom window after the mother gave birth. At the same time, a woman was hospitalized for bleeding and later detained by police, although she was released pending further investigations.
