A woman becomes pregnant three times in seven years. She gives birth to the babies and then abandons them in a London park each time. The youngest child was found in a shopping bag and was only an hour old when it was found.
It is a case that is currently causing horror in Great Britain: a woman becomes pregnant three times within seven years and each time simply abandons her babies somewhere in a park.
Over the past seven years, three newborns have been found in the parks of Plaistow and Newham in east London. Genetic tests have shown that they all have the same biological parents, but they have not yet been located, reports the Daily Mail.
The youngest of the children, a girl named Elsa, was discovered by a walker in January this year. She was found wrapped in a towel in a reusable shopping bag by a walker, according to The Herald. The girl was only an hour old. The woman who abandoned Elsa was seen at the High Street South entrance entering the Greenway at around 8.45pm on the evening of January 18, about half an hour before the baby was found.
The police then launched an appeal to find the mother. Elsa is the biological sibling of two boys – Harry, who was found in a park in Plaistow in 2017, and Roman, who was found in a park in Newham in 2019.
According to the Daily Mail, the siblings’ relationship was recently established by the East London Family Court and subsequently made public, with media outlets including the BBC and the PA news agency reporting on the matter. Judge Carol Atkinson said it was in the public interest to identify the biological parents.
The older children – Harry and Roman – have already been adopted, while Elsa is still in foster care. Their names have since been changed.
Just recently, another case caused outrage: a couple decided to give their daughter up for adoption because she did not fit into their lifestyle. The two are “workaholics”.
Heavy rain, high water, flooding – the storm has southern Germany firmly in its grip. The water levels have reached the heights of a once-in-a-century flood. Dams are breaking. Places are being evacuated. Read everything you need to know in the weather ticker.
Many people can easily imagine spending their retirement abroad. However, the dream can also go really wrong, as in the case of Christine, who is stuck in Thailand.
