A heartbreaking incident unfolded when a three-month-old infant was discovered abandoned near a stream, accompanied by an apology note written by her mother.
The mother explained in the letter that she felt she had no other choice after failing to receive assistance from social services. The baby girl, found in good health, was left with a bag containing nappies, a bottle of milk, and a pacifier.
The discovery was made by a man picking mangoes at a soccer court in Dawncrest, who then contacted his employers, leading to the involvement of Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa). Rusa officers arrived at the scene, where a female officer and medics assisted in changing the baby’s soaked nappy and feeding her with the bottle of milk. The infant was examined and found to be in good health.
The handwritten apology note expressed the mother’s guilt and frustration in attempting to reach out to social workers.
