how can someone do this ?

A newborn baby has been found abandoned under a bush in part of Leicester.

The girl, who was only a few hours old, was found by a woman on Krefeld Way in Beaumont Leys on Sunday night wrapped in a thin blanket.

It is sad, but at least the child is a safe and well, lets hope they find the mother were ever she may be

There was one found near us a few years ago just off the A614 in a laybye, the police have still not traced the mother. It's not a time to birate the mother you don't know what's going through their minds, they need help as well as the new born baby.

For gods sake--at least take the baby to a hospital before abandoning it

Makes me sick! Just well and truly does. I agree with budwieser on this one!

The mother may be little more than a child her self, having said that she could have left her on a door step or some thing were it was guaranteed she would be found

you're right, Jules, we don't know the circumstances enough to judge the mother, the baby is ok, though, thank goodness.

I agree with you there but that is how a normal thinking person would think perhaps.

The childs mother could be a druggy, perhaps a young teenager or less who is too scared, or perhaps the mother is ill or ashamed of something.

There is too many variables to consider before slating the mother here.

Good point. We don't know anything about the mother, or her state of mind. It's also entirely possible she was suffering some form of depression, and may not have been entirely aware of what she was doing.

Not defending her, just pointing out we don't know enough..

That is just callous and I am afraid just shows up the degradation of society these days, ala throw away society.

It is sick. It makes me sick. Angry.

Again the mother could be ill,not mentally there,scared,ashamed,underage,under pressure.

did you mean that?

Either way, for someone to do that there must be something very wrong with them.

why knows WHY she decided on a bush? Depending on the mental state of the mother, it could've seemed a great idea. daft as it might sound, she might be under the deluded impression that the fairies who live in the bushes will look after the baby. Laugh if you like, but mental illness comes in all shapes and sizes, and it really wouldn't surprise me if it turned out she expects the smurfs to look after her baby.

absolutely, the baby is ok, is the main thing, right now. Let's hope the mother reports in soon ......
