Baby girl found alone on a street in Roodepoort
Public asked to assist with any information
At roughly 8.30pm on Wednesday evening, 18 December, a resident of 7th Avenue,Roodepoort noticed a small child walking in the street alone. The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, approached the child to discover she was unattended.
“The baby was just walking alone just dragging her blanket,” said the resident. He proceeded to then notify community groups and other residents in the area in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the parents. The resident then reported the matter to police and the female child will be taken to child welfare this morning.
The black girl, roughly one year old, was wearing pink sandals, grey trousers and a blue jacket with red lining. The child is too young to speak but does have teeth and is able to walk. The baby blanket the child had with her depicts a teddy bear having a picnic. Should anyone have any information on the identity of the child or her parents are asked to please contact Roodepoort Police on 011 279 6400, or the Child Welfare office in Roodepoort on 011 271 8700.
