A baby girl found earlier this year in a shopping bag in east London is the third child to have been abandoned by the same parents in similar circumstances over the last seven years, British police say. The baby girl, named Elsa, was discovered by a person walking their dog one night in January near a busy junction in the Newham district, police said. Subsequent DNA tests revealed that Elsa was the full sibling of two other babies who had also been abandoned in the same area.
Details of the case were made public on Tuesday after a judge at a family court in east London said the story was of public interest and gave the BBC and PA Media permission to report the sibling link of the three abandoned children. The BBC said the older children had since been adopted while Elsa, who was estimated to have been born only an hour before being abandoned, was in foster care. The court was told she was doing well, according to the BBC.
