In September 1984, Jon Scarlett-Phillips’ mother abandoned him inside a plastic bag in the toilet of a swimming pool car park. The helpless baby boy was wrapped in a blanket, with his placenta still attached.
Fortunately, he was discovered by a group of teenage girls who quickly called an ambulance.
“I was found by three girls,” Jon, now aged 40, said on the UK show Long Lost Family. “I’m grateful, very grateful that they heard me and found me. They’re the ones that saved my life.”
