Baby girl found inside a cardboard box ,

It's a sterilising box so I'm guessing not an unplanned pregnancy ?
She is between 1 and 4 weeks old and has dark hair and dark eyes .


Police are concerned for mothers welfare

Oh this poor sweet baby!! I hope her mother is found safe and they can be reunited soon.

 

[mrsward]

Found wearing a nappy (diaper) wrapped in a blue blanket ,

Poor little girl, so glad she was found in time,

Hope mums okay !

I hope the baby gets the best possible outcome - this may not involve being reunited with the mother.

What is this area like, the photos make it look a bit run down?

So glad she was found in time!

Yeah not the best area... Lots of social housing in this area( not that I'm judging but we all know what comes along with social housing in a run down area ,) I'm just glad she was found

 

[Ironside]

Dark hair and eyes makes me think it is an asian baby and the mother was too ashamed to tell her family. She might get charged once she is traced, unless you have a very good excuse this is treated as a serious crime - some mums have been convicted of attempted murder in this situation. What would have happened if the child was not found on time?

Photo released

She's a beauty !

Ohhh she is adorable! Not recent newborn though, I reckon about 2ish weeks old?

 

[Kaliste]

Oh she's sweet! So thankful she's alive.

 

[mrsward]

According to the reports , she's around 6 weeks , so this is a pretty strange one , usually it's after birth there abandoned
