Police found three abandoned children in Portland, Oregon, Thursday evening. The investigation began around 9:25 a.m. when a man heard children’s voices coming from a shed behind his house in East Portland. Police officers arrived and found numerous homeless people along with three small children, the youngest thought to be between 8 to 15 months old, another child about two years old, and oldest child around 3 years old. The homeless people told the police that the children had been abandoned by a woman just the night before. 

With no leads in the case, authorities are pleading for any help identifying the children who are currently in protective custody and being medically evaluated. Anyone with information on the case should call the DHS Child Abuse Hotline at 503-731-3100.
