According to the Harris County Sheriff 's Office, deputies responded to The Bridges of Cypress Creek apartment complex on Red Oak Drive early Thursday morning . A man who lives in the complex told deputies around 5 a.m., he heard a baby girl crying and at first thought it was a toy. When the man realized the baby was alive, he took the child home and called police. Deputies say the newborn was less than an hour old.  KHOU 11 spoke to the man who discovered the infant and saved her life. Albert Peterson was headed to work like any other day. “I heard some crying and whining and crying, and I kept walking until I got closer to the noise, and then I looked at the ground and there was a baby down there,” said Peterson. “...

A Florida judge denied bond for 22-year-old Velmando Williams, who is being accused of locking three children in a bedroom before setting fire to their apartment after an argument with their mother, according to the Palm Beach Post . Last week, a Stonybrook Apartment fire nearly took the lives of three children. It was reported that Tranice Smith, 19, and Williams, who is the father two of her children, was in a heated argument. Smith stated that she was cut in the back of the head and held down by her shirt. When she was able to break free, she said she ran out of the apartment and told Williams that she was going to call the police. That’s when Williams told her that he was going to set the apartment on fire before slamming and locking the door. Williams allegedly locked the three children in a bedroom inside the Stonybrook Apartment before setting fire to the couches in the living room by using cooking oil. Afterward, he jumped from an open window and fled the scene, according t...

The umbilical cord was still attached. Experts say the infant wouldn't have survived much longer if a neighbor hadn't found her. Once the Texas county sheriff 's deputies were finally allowed inside , they spoke with a 21-year-old woman who appeared to live in the Cypress Creek apartment complex unit . "It's like they just left the baby out there like it was trash", said Baldwin. The unnamed mother is now in the custody of sheriffs and the local district attorney is now considering charges against her. Detectives knocked on the apartment's door, but the residents refused to open it. "Without this neighbour, we could be looking at probably a whole different scene", said HCSO Deputy Thomas Gilliland . Peterson took the baby to his apartment and asked his wife to call the police, while he cleaned up the baby . However in the meantime the newborn baby was taken for a medical evaluation at Texas Children's Hospital and despite what she had bee...

| Share | Share | Share | Share Aug. 13--RIVIERA BEACH, FL-- Quick action by neighbors and firefighters -- and a little luck -- saved three infants trapped inside a burning apartment on Friday that police say was set on fire by their father after a domestic dispute with the children's 19-year-old mother. Using hammers, chairs and whatever they could grab to smash through hurricane windows, neighbors entered a burning second-floor unit at the Stonybrook Apartments. They handed a 3-year-old boy and a 1-year-old boy out the window. "They kept pounding and pounding. They were using hammers and chairs, anything they could get their hands on. They wouldn't stop until they got those kids out," said Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters . A video taken at the scene shows neighbors struggling to pound through the doors and flames coming through the roof. "There's a newborn baby in there! Somebody locked the doors! Somebody get that baby out of there," a woma...

According to Harris County deputies , the child was found about 5 a.m.in a grassy area at the Bridges of Cypress Creek apartments on Red Oak Drive.

Instead of going to work, Peterson took the baby back to his apartment to wait for authorities. Investigators said they followed a trail of blood to a nearby apartment. "Bro...that's insane. Somebody left their baby out here...you gotta call 911, bro", John Baldwin said in a video he shot. Bloody footprints left by the mother could be seen on the sidewalk.

Jennifer Johnson was freezing cold and so was her 5-month-old baby. It was January, and the heat in her apartment wouldn 't go above 60. When the wind blew outside, her drapes fluttered inside . She called the maintenance department at Lakecrest Park Apartments in Roosevelt Park . The man who answered was rude, then crude, then hung up on her. Desperate and shivering, Johnson called the police. The result? Inspectors were called who issued citations, city leaders changed the ordinance to allow stricter enforcement of building codes and the apartment complex's East Coast owners became "cooperative" with city officials . And what about the apartment's management and maintenance department she dealt with? All fired. It's unusual for officials of any city to move so quickly to step into a tenant-landlord dispute. But with only a few large apartment complexes in the one-square-mile city, inspectors and leaders decided change was needed fast. A lease nightmar...

The only remains of the birth of "Baby Willow" were washed away from an apartment complex parking lot Tuesday morning as distraught neighbors looked on. A day earlier Orlando police responded around 3 p.m. to Willow Bend Apartments after someone reported seeing a possible placenta in the parking lot. Homicide and crime- scene investigators determined "that a full term baby had been born and discarded," police said. Officers found the mother, 30-year-old Susan Richardson, on Monday but no baby. She only admitted to giving birth to the girl, according to police. Richardson was taken to the Orange County Jail on an aggravated child neglect charge Tuesday afternoon , police say. Police conducted an extensive search of the complex in the 4700 block of Silver Star Road near Evans High School — including inside Dumpsters and trash cans — with cadaver dogs and 14 trained searchers from the nonprofit support group Search and Rescue of Central Florida but came up emp...

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. - First responders are a special breed. They run toward danger, risking their lives to save others. Friday night, Riviera Beach firefighters got that call.

Thanks to neighbors, two kids got out. But it was up to the firefighters to save a newborn baby. Firefighter Brandon Keatts made his way through the hot zone. “When the door came up and I saw the infant, a lot of thoughts went through my head at once," he said. Keatts has been with the Riviera Beach Fire Department for three years now but he’d never dealt with such a life and death situation.
