Detroit police responded to what sounded like a holiday-season mystery: a newborn found on a front porch on Thanksgiving night. Naturally, everyone assumed the worst — abandoned baby, runaway parents, the whole dramatic Lifetime-movie plot.
But the twist came fast. It turns out the baby wasn’t dumped at all. A 16-year-old living inside the house had secretly given birth and, panicked about how her family would react, staged the fake abandonment. Both mom and baby were taken to the hospital and are now safe, and police are still sorting out the details. Thanksgiving drama level: very high, but at least it ended better than most family gatherings.
