A newborn baby found abandoned in London in freezing conditions earlier this year has two siblings who were also abandoned in previous years in similar circumstances, a court has been told.
The girl, named Baby Elsa by hospital staff, was found in January wrapped in a towel inside a shopping bag by a dog walker in east London, who alerted emergency services.
DNA tests have since shown that she has a brother and sister, known as Baby torment and baby Romanwhich were discovered in the same area of the UK capital in 2017 and 2019. They were wrapped in blankets, the BBC said reported. One was also inside a bag.
“The child’s forehead was freezing… (it was) snowing shortly after,” said the man who discovered Roman told the BBC in 2019.
Metropolitan police
The children’s parents have not yet been identified and the London Metropolitan Police are working to trace their identities.
“This is significant news and our work has focused on trying to locate the mother and provide support to her,” Detective Inspector Jamie Humm said in a statement. declaration. “We have been working 24/7 on each of these three cases to identify the parents, so far without success.”
A family court judge on Monday approved the release of details about the cases, lifting normally strict reporting restrictions on minors and family matters in the interests of “open justice.”
“There is a clear public interest in reporting this story,” said Judge Carol Atkinson, granting a request from the BBC and PA Media to report the connection between the three brothers.
“The abandonment of a baby in this country is a very, very unusual event and there have been no children abandoned for years, and so it is the story of the abandonment of a child that is of public interest.”
Elsa was believed to be less than an hour old when she was found abandoned in East Ham on January 18.
His sister, Baby Roman, was found in similar circumstances at a recreation area in Newham at the end of January 2019, as freezing temperatures and snow gripped the capital.
Meanwhile, in September 2017, baby Harry was found wrapped in a white blanket in Plaistow.
Harry and Roman – not their real names – have since been adopted, while Elsa’s future care has not yet been finalized.
Very few babies are registered as abandoned at birth in England and Wales, the BBC reported. The Office for National Statistics only published data up to 2015, and showed that no babies were recorded as abandoned in the previous three years, with just one recorded as abandoned in 2011.
However academic researchers estimate the highest numberat around 16 per year, in an analysis covering the period 1998-2005.
