We are truly going through the most as a nation, and while our first reaction is to hold others responsible for their actions, we have no idea what each person is going through or what their mental state is.

A local lady could not believe her eyes when she saw a baby's face in a blanket underneath a seat, so she decided to record a video and share it on TikT under her user handle @mazwide34, looking for the mom.

Abandoned underneath a seat

In the clip, the woman carries the baby and shares that the mother got off the bus in Mayville. As one of the last passengers, she noticed a blanket under the seat and looked closer, only to see a baby's face. She describes what the mother is wearing in detail.
