Despite the fact that safe haven laws exist allowing mothers or parents to surrender a newborn to authorities instead of killing or abandoning the baby, the numbers of news stories about infanticide cases is still alarmingly high. Now, workers at a recycling plant in Michigan have found the body of a dead newborn baby.
Here’s more from the Detroit News:

According to the Roseville Police Department, the body was that of a white male estimated to be one to three days old.
Workers at the center — located in the 30800 block of Groesbeck — were sorting different forms of recyclable materials when at about 11 p.m. a bundle came down the sorting line.
When workers opened the bundle, they found the body of the newborn child.
