Each year, cases of baby abandonment happen around the world. In the most shocking case, a newborn baby girl was reportedly dumped in a concrete storm drain in Newlands East, outside Durban, South Africa. Luckily, the infant girl, trapped around 7 meters (approx. 22 feet) down the drain, was rescued by emergency workers.
The harrowing rescue operation that lasted for about three hours occurred a few months ago on Feb. 11, 2019. It unfolded when residents in Newlands East heard faint cries coming from deep within the storm drain around the corner of Herring Circle and Barracuda Rd.
