CA Unidentified Newborn Child - Jonathon Moses Doe - Hispanic - Turlock, Ca. October 30,1987

[Seeker2022]

This baby was found in a dumpster in Turlock, Ca. in 1987. I was a teenager and just had my first son 5 months prior... Really hit me in the heart... i could not understand how anyone could do that to their baby.
Mommy had him, wrapped him up (in a bag or blanket) and threw him away. I believe "Jonathon," as named by public, has been forgotten. But not by me... Every time i see newborns dead and unidentified i think of Jonathon.
I "adopted" him, and visit his grave often.
Hoping they find his mommy. Someone knows something.
