Workers at a garbage facility’s recycling plant found a dead baby on a conveyer belt yesterday in yet another case of an abandoned newborn. Several recent cases in the United States and elsewhere have received national and international attention.
A worker discovered the baby on a conveyor belt while he was sorting garbage at Athens Services on the 14000 block of East Valley Boulevard around 2 p.m.

In China, the mother of the baby who has made international headlines after he was rescued from a toilet sewage pipe says the incident was an accident. She also claims she wanted an abortion but was unable to afford one. She was a victim of China’s forced-abortion one-child policy.
