It started as an ordinary day on duty—patrolling the streets, answering calls, doing my job. Nothing could have prepared me for the moments that shattered my heart that day.
We received a call about a distraught woman wandering near the hospital entrance. By the time we arrived, she had vanished, but what she left behind was far more devastating—a baby.
There he was: tiny and fragile, wrapped in worn, ill-fitting clothes. His cries were weak and desperate, echoing in the sterile hallway. A nurse later explained that he had been crying for hours, left without food and abandoned, and there was no sign of his mother anywhere. In that moment, I felt a familiar pain—as if I were hearing the echo of my own child’s cries at home.
