Baby left alone on Louisiana beach, parents found naked miles away

A one-year-old girl was left alone on a beach in Cameron Parish, La., while her parents jogged in the nude nearby on Tuesday morning, KPLC-TV reported.

Cameron Parish Sheriff Ron Johnson told KPLC-TV that police received a report that a baby was alone on the beach at 10:16 Tuesday morning. He said they found the 20-month-old child sunburnt and covered in mosquito bites, two miles from a Ford Explorer that was left running.

Johnson said the parents were found hours later and several miles from where the child was sitting. Cody and Monique Bourgeois appeared to be jogging in the nude, he said.

The parents were arrested and charged with child desertion and obscenity, KATC-TV reported.

Johnson said they believe drugs were involved in the incident, KPLC reported. Child protective services were called.
