CALA- The Eastern Cape police are looking for the mother of a baby boy who was found abandoned on Saturday, June 28.
The baby, just about four weeks old was discovered alive and in need of care.
Captain Namhla Mdleleni, a spokesperson for the police, reported that officers from the Family Violence, Child Protection, and Sexual Offenses (FCS) Unit responded to a call and found the baby in a vulnerable state.
He has since been taken to the hospital for a medical examination, and a case of child neglect has been opened.
The police are urging anyone with information that could help find the baby’s mother to come forward.
