Newborn Baby Found Abandoned In Liverpool
A newborn baby boy has been found abandoned in the garden of a house in Liverpool.
The baby, who still had his umbilical cord attached, was found in the garden of the house in Delagoa Road, near to the junction with Ladysmith Road in Fazakerley by a local couple around 11pm on Thursday.
They had heard noises, which they described as sounding like a cat in distress, and when they went to investigate, found the baby wrapped in towels in a bag.
The baby was taken to Aintree Hospitals Trust, but was then transferred to the Liverpool Women's Hospital. Staff have named him Zack. Weighing 8lbs and 11oz, he is said to be in a healthy condition.
Superintendent Colin Leeman said: "I am very concerned about the welfare of the mother of the baby and I would appeal to her to come forward as soon as possible, so we can do what's best for both her and the baby.
"Medical staff at the Women's believe the baby is just hours old and he is healthy, but we want to find mum so that we can check on her welfare and make sure she is okay. Clearly this little boy needs his mum.
"I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to anyone who was in the area last night who may have seen something which could help us to identify mum to come forward."
Officers are carrying out house-to-house inquiries in the area. Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on: 0151 777 4583.
