A girl baby was found abandoned in a lake near Ahmedabad. Dumped to die in the lake, luckily for the little one, she was discovered in time by firefighters.

The baby was found by a team of firemen led by Rajesh Goswami who heard the faint cries early in the morning when they embarked on duty to check the oxygen levels in the lake.

Instead of the fish, the firemen found the freshly delivered girl who was dumped from the womb straight into the lake to die. “The girl did not have any clothing on her and had turned completely white. We had become sceptical about her survival,” said Goswami.

The girl baby seems to have been delivered at home by a quack.

Dr Vijapura said that the girl was probably delivered at home as her umbilical cord was cut non-surgically and tied with a thread.

Whether this be a case of female infanticide (in which India has dubious distinction of being the world leader) or unplanned pregnancy, how people bring themselves to abandon babies in this manner is beyond me. How about using one of these cradles?
