The first images of a tiny newborn baby found abandoned in a park a week ago have been released by police as detectives in the UK have appealed directly to the child’s mother to come forward.

The baby, who has since been named George by those looking after him in hospital, was discovered clothed and wrapped in a blanket by a dog walker at The Mounds in Kings Norton, Birmingham, at about 5.30pm on April 22.
