Poor babe. :crying: It's also terrible that the mother felt this was her only option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957138 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 20:59:46 +0000 mrsjyw 1957138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg! Wtf!?!? Makes me so angry! Prayers that baby is placed in a loving home!

I'm holding my 3 weeks old as she sleeps and can't imagine anyone doing something so terrible to such a tiny creature. Disgusting... I hope that poor baby suffers no long term ill effects from this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957123 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 20:44:30 +0000 simplyfelicity 1957123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Praise God that the baby is relatively ok! I pray he finds the most loving home and will never question how much he is loved. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957121 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 20:40:25 +0000 coopsmama 1957121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This makes me rage-y. It is unbelievable to me that any one could be that cruel. That poor sweet little one. :crying: I pray he makes a full recovery and that there is someone out there who will love him as their own as I would assume his mother will be losing all rights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957054 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:31:34 +0000 cait 1957054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This makes me feel sick. But, when I started reading your post, I immediately assumed the baby had died. It amazes me that he was able to survive! I hope he eventually finds himself in a loving home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957047 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:18:54 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1957047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I know right!? I can't think of anything more helpless than a one day old baby, and for him to survive 5 days with no human contact is just an absolute miracle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957046 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:17:54 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1957046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: witnesses have said that there was a man hanging around the drain on the day they suspect the baby was left there - speculation is that he is the father. Its all speculation at the moment. Just so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957036 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:13:51 +0000 turquoisemama 1957036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I'm shocked the baby survived, thank God those people found him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957031 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:11:10 +0000 Kemma 1957031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such am awful situation for both mother and baby, I couldn't imagine being in such a bad place that i felt like abandoning my baby down a drain was my only option. And where was the father or extended family of the baby in all this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1957029 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:09:16 +0000 Raindrop 1957029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sad. My heart goes out to the mom and baby.

There's a saying God watches over babies and fools. Must be true. Five days!! No food or care for five days! That baby had a will to live. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1956997 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:38:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1956997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh absolutely terrible :( I wish she had went for help when she needed it. So many people would have been willing to take the child if it meant protecting him/her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1956992 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:34:58 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1956992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg!!

That poor baby, I can't imagine what he's been through. </p> <p>People like this make me ragey - there are safe havens for a newborn to be taken to if a mother is feeling if she can't cope - to do something like this is inexcusable. Poor little baby, I hope he recovers and finds love and happiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-story-out-of-sydney#post-1956955 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:00:25 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1956955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I'm not even sure why I'm posting this, I literally have thought of nothing else for the past day and I don't think this will make the news in the US or Canada. I just can't believe it. A 30 year old mother dropped her one day old baby 2.5 metres down a storm drain, and it wasn't found until 5 (!!!!!!) days later, because some bikers going by hear the cries.<br /> The baby is in stable condition now and the mother has been charged with attempted murder. I just can't stop thinking about the poor baby crying there for so many days. Sigh. </p> <p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/police-find-mom-baby-abandoned-sydney-drain-27112367" rel="nofollow">http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/police-find-mom-baby-abandoned-sydney-drain-27112367</a> </p>
