Robert Deane had gone out of his house to check if his mail arrived Monday morning when he spotted two car seats tossed in a local ditch, with two infants, 4- and 5-month-olds, crying for help. “One of them was screaming, so I immediately grabbed the car seats, brought them inside,” he told local CBS 4. “We got them warmed up and called 911.” A Good Samaritan stumbled across two crying infants abandoned in a ditch in Indianapolis. Police said the babies were kidnapped when someone stole the care they were in Monday morning.
