but also strikes me as a miracle that in the weather conditions today, the baby is okay here after being found abandonded, its bloody freezing!

I hope the mother is okay.

And to think of what they say about teenagers...

how could anyone.I can kind of well cant really but understand the fear that makes you dump your baby but not somewhere like that. You do it in a public place where its warm.

IllegallyBrunette · 10/01/2009 16:53

Poor baby.

Well done to the lads that found her.

nancy75 · 10/01/2009 16:54

bronze i agree, leave baby on a bench in a shopping centre or in a hospital doorway, not in a bush.

whoingodsnameami · 10/01/2009 17:03

who knows what state the mother was/is in, perhaps she thought it was a school day and baby would be found soon enough.

LiffeyOink · 10/01/2009 17:09

thank goodness they found her.

Mother probably about 14, with post traumatic stress.

giraffescantdancethetango · 10/01/2009 17:11

Well done to those boys. That gave me shivers and teary eyes to read.

mamadiva · 10/01/2009 17:21

Glad the baby was found safe in the end.

Hope the mother is found as I think to do that you would need some serious help, hope she is okay!

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 10/01/2009 17:22

Well done to the boys who took the baby to the hospital

To be blunt, I doubt the mother did that on the facts in that report. If you didn't fancy hanging on to a little baby girl, yes, a school playing field on a freezing weekend is a great place to get rid, dead by first PE lesson on Monday. Fantastic. I should think the poor mother is in a hell of a state.

Apparently the baby was covered with twigs
Poor mother and baby, hopefully things work out OK for them both.

TheNinkynork · 10/01/2009 22:04

That could have been me as a baby but for The Crusade of Rescue. At least some deserving couple are about to have their dream come true.

27 · 10/01/2009 22:05

hopefully the mum will come forward and maybe be able in time to look after her baby.

Heated · 10/01/2009 22:05

What do you mean Ninky?

sfxmum · 10/01/2009 22:16

I read this story earlier and some of the details given seemed odd for want of a better word. A 3hr old baby wrapped in blanket in an out of the way school field is, in a very cold day could not have been left there long and survive, she is then found by a couple who are 16yrs old
honestly I bet they will turn out to be the parents and just made up the story not knowing how to deal with the situation, poor kids all around hope they are all ok.

of course I may well be wrong

sfxmum · 10/01/2009 22:18

see that report says a group of boys the story I read earlier said a couple, boy girl both 16

27 · 10/01/2009 22:19

I did wonder if the mum might be very young, to leave the baby in a school playing field. I think I like your idea better sfxmum.

TheNinkynork · 10/01/2009 22:21

Heated I was born to a very young mother, good Catholic family and adopted at three months thanks to that organisation.

giraffescantdancethetango · 10/01/2009 23:51

link Hope the mother can get some help whatever her circumstances.

Heated · 11/01/2009 08:49

Thanks for replying Ninky, I've never heard of the Crusade of Rescue before.

sfxmum · 11/01/2009 08:53

the mother just came forward hope all is well

sfxmum · 11/01/2009 08:53

oops but still glad

AnAngelWithin · 11/01/2009 09:14
