The child was discovered inside the crate by rescue workers who had been searching the area. The infant was immediately taken to a medical facility for assessment and treatment.
South Carolina is a state in the southeastern United States. The incident has prompted an investigation into how the child was placed in the crate and the circumstances that led to the prolonged confinement.
