A boy who appears to be a bit more than a year old was found Wednesday in a trash container outside a La Vista apartment building, police said.
The toddler, who was wearing only a diaper, was bruised. He was taken to Children's Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha after he was found about 5:45 p.m. by a resident of the building near 84th and Harrison Streets, police said.
Police do not know his name or the names of his parents, Capt. Bryan Waugh, a La Vista police spokesman, said.

(14,733 posts)5. Think of it this way.
A) He was found safely, and
B) He's no longer with a parent or parents who obviously weren't good for him.
He's probably going to be better off than he would have been being raised by those kind of folks.

I hope he's adopted into a family that will love, cherish and nurture him, exactly as he deserves. I bet there are already inquiries about adopting him.
