A woman who was abandoned as a newborn is campaigning to introduce baby boxes in the UK, that would allow parents to leave their offspring in a safe place if they cannot care for them.
Toyin Odumala’s petition comes after it emerged that three newborn babies found in east London parks over the past seven years shared the same parents. DNA tests proved that Baby Elsa, who was found by a dog walker in Newham in January, is the biological sister of two babies found in similar circumstances in 2017 and 2019.
