A little Guatemalan boy with a hot haircut was left in an Indiana Wal-Mart by his mother, along with a hand-written note stating she could not afford to care for him and a little backpack with his belongings. OMG, just like Dora!:

The boy is thought to be about 2 1/2 years old, named Martín and from Guatemala. Wal-Mart employees found him wandering in the store’s fabric department.

Worst “Project Runway” challenge ever.

“Where he’s at now, in foster care, he’s been interacting with the other children and playing with them,” Maj. Jeff Ward, a detective with the Frankfort Police Department, said Monday. “He understands English, but we’re not sure if he speaks it.

“The letter suggests that he was abandoned. Nobody has come forward to report him missing.”

Sad! And since we’re nothing if not gross sadists, here’s another detail to tug at your heartstrings. We hear that feels real bad:

His backpack contained a baby bottle, “sippy” cups, diapers and toys.

Authorities have not been able to authenticate the letter left, supposedly, by his mother and he has not seemed to be responding to the name “Martin,” so they are asking anyone with information about the little boy to come forward. We wish the little boy the best — as well as other children who find themselves in similar situations when their parents feel desperate and without other option.

That said, we’ll totally babysit Maybe Martin. We’ll just lay down newspaper or whatever.
