Newborn Baby Found at Sydney Rubbish Tip

Australian Post Posted by Amber Robinson at 8:00 AM on February 12, 2009

Workers at a waste disposal centre in Sydney made a grisly discovery when sorting through rubbish yesterday – the body of a newborn baby boy.

The baby was found in a sorting line at Jacks Gully Waste Disposal Centre in Spring Farm, near Narellan (South West Sydney), about 10.30am.

Police believe the body may have been carried to the tip in a rubbish truck from the northern suburbs of nearby Camden, but at this stage police had no idea how the baby died.

Superintendent Foscholo told the Camden Advertiser the baby was found on a conveyor belt, wrapped in a blanket, within hours of the rubbish being collected. Suburbs where the body may have been collected include Catherine Field, Bringelly and parts of Campbelltown including Eschol Park, Eagle Vale and Claymore.

The hunt is now on for the baby’s mother, who may be in urgent need of medical attention. Anyone with information  is urged to contact Camden Police on 4655 0599 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

How absolutely traumatising for the  poor waste disposal workers, I imagine they will need a lot of counselling. I’m also wary about making any judgements about this case until more is known. We’ll keep you updated on any news.
