Missing baby found alive in dog cage that was buried in woods in the US

In South Carolina, a missing 11-month-old baby named Koah Sharpe was found alive in a dog cage wrapped in a towel. Authorities believe he spent a full day in that condition. The father has been arrested following the child's disappearance after the mother left him with him. A babysitter later found no one at home, prompting a large search involving over a hundred officers. Koah was discovered after officers noticed disturbed earth at the father's residence and heard him crying while digging. He has been hospitalized, and his condition remains unclear. The father was arrested for burglary on the day Koah went missing but has not yet been charged with kidnapping or burying the child, as prosecutors continue their investigation.
