Foetus found in water treatment plant
Baby girl either born early or aborted
DNA tests to be carried out on the body
MYSTERY surrounds the discovery of a baby girl's body, dumped at a Brisbane water treatment plant or washed into the system following an abortion or early birth.
Police remain tight-lipped about the gruesome find after two male workers at the plant on Main Beach Road, Pinkenba discovered the body at 11.30 last night.
The workers who found the body are in shock as well as the police officers who attended the scene.
"We'll make sure counselling is available to them," Acting Inspector for North Brisbane, Tod Reid said.
He said it was not known if the child, who was not carried to full term, was born or aborted.
"It is possible the baby was two months premature," Detective Reid said.
DNA testing is being carried out on the tiny body while police have launched a criminal investigation.
It's not known how long the baby had been dead for and police refused to say if there were any signs or bruising, cuts or broken bones.They also wouldn't confirm if the body was found in the water system or if it was dumped on the grounds of the treatment plant, which services the greater metropolitan north area.
Police are checking the list of people reported missing in the area and Detective Reid said the force was treating it as a priority case.
"Detectives will be working on it all day and all night," he said, adding that a post-mortem examination was being carried out on the the baby's body.
"We've got a number of lines of inquiry open to try and establish the identity of the child's mother, with a number of different agencies and other government departments."
Police are concerned for the mother's health and welfare and are appealing for public assistance to locate her.
My Critique--
What a cruel scene?A premature foetus was dumped into the water treatment plant! Is it the case of abortion? Or it is a case of early birth? I would say that the mother of the foetus is too cruel to do such an action...It is worse if it is a case of abortion!The foetus has its rights to come to this world and enjoy its life!If it is a case of early birth, the mother should not dump her baby in that way also.I personally think that this is a consequence of teenage pregnancy which they do not know how to handle...What is your opinion??
Even animals never leave the baby. I think, the morality of human is fading nowadays. They don't feel any responsibility of it. Poor baby.
