Just ten days ago, a newborn baby was found alive in a shopping bag by a walker in London. The girl was younger than an hour and was wrapped in a towel. The child, who was christened Elsa, was doing well, it was said at the weekend. The police published the description of the alleged mother, who may need medical attention.
