Newborn found abandoned beside garbage bins

By The Nation

 

A newborn baby was found abandoned near garbage bins in Chon Buri province early on Saturday.

 

Anucha Boonkhai, 18, a garbage truck worker, told police that after he had loaded garbage from all the bins on Soi 4 of Ban Kao village in Tambon Ban Kao, Muang district, he spotted a pile of towels. He checked and found a baby boy, whose umbilical cord had not been cut and who was still smudged in blood, wrapped in one of the towels.

 

The baby was still breathing and was being bitten by mosquitoes and ants so he called an emergency unit of a hospital and then informed police.

 

Police will check footage from security cameras in the area to try to identify the mother who had dumped the baby at the spot.

If the umbilical cord had not been severed there could be a very good chance that the mother might be found nearby !

I didn’t think villages had recyclable bins.....

 

DNA will be easy in this case....the mother will need meaningful counseling....and the father won’t take responsibility as probably a child mentally himself.....a tragedy all the way around....

Bins are communal on the roadsides not outside peoples homes... so the baby could have been left there by anyone.. An un-cut umbilical cord probably means a birth by a very young girl unable to cope/care for the baby outside of hospital care.

If the mother passed the placenta without difficulties it might be hard to trace her unless friends or someones suddenly notices a pregnant friend has given birth without a baby in arms ?

DNA ....looool

 

as if many thais , maybe except convicts consider doing a 23andme DNA test or something

 

 

 

I can't imagine the mental trauma that person would  feel if later in life someone told him of his beginnings.

 

Sadness all around.

I hope that both the birth mother and child get good care, and support.

Tragedy for all concerned.

 

Yes that happens when no free abortion in this country but very sad start for this child 

Hope he recover well
