The body the just-born girl child with the placenta and umbilical cord intact, was found on Friday morning behind one of the cars in the stilt car-park of Ramgiri Paradise building. The child’s head had been battered. The post-mortem report from Sion hospital states that a blunt object was used to kill her.
This didn’t happen in some desolate corner of human habitation untouched by civilization but in Mumbai, the proverbial melting pot of India [via Indian Writing]. And these people consider themselves worthy of existence? DNA tests will instantly reveal the identity of the culprit. Right now, none of the 24 families living in the apartment building are saying anything but if they know the guilty, shame on them too. Shouldn’t the Sena be protesting against such travesty of Indian ‘culture’ where children are considered bhagwaan ki den (gifts of God)? [image above NOT of the baby in the news; source].

When I was a kid, probably less than 6, I had seen a similar body washed up to the shore on Dadar beach. I don’t think the placenta etc were intact, but believe me, that image haunts me even now. At that time, I thought it was a baby mermaid, but many years later I realised what it really was..
Patrix replied: OMG! that must have been awful. I can’t imagine anyone killing a baby let alone their own.
