Darmstadt (ots) – In the night from Saturday to Sunday (24/25/07) an obviously newborn male infant was abandoned by strangers on the grounds of the Darmstadt Clinic in the area of ”medical on-call service”. Since the little boy was in a critical state of health due to severe hypothermia when he was found at 2 a.m., he was immediately admitted to the children’s clinic in Darmstadt, where, fortunately, his condition is currently stabilizing! The baby was found by an attentive witness who was a patient in the premises of the medical on-call service and was able to hear the baby’s crying. The newborn was undressed and wrapped in a blue terry towel with animal embroidery (hippopotamus) and placed in a white wicker basket. A white children’s quilt lay on the basket and over the baby, and the boy had a pacifier with a yellow ribbon in his mouth. There are currently no indications of the identity of the child’s mother, the criminal police took over the investigation that night. In this context, the investigating authorities also ask for information from the population that could lead to the identification of the mother.
