2. The parents remain unidentified so the story behind the abandonments is still unknown.

   >Speaking from her experience and research, Dr Mueller believes those who abandon newborns instead of seeking support from social services are “likely to be extremely vulnerable.”

   >The 40-year-old, from Tunbridge Wells, told the Mirror: “It’s quite likely that these mothers are traumatised, marginalised, and potentially suffering from mental health difficulties. Potentially these people may be refugees, people who’ve got unstable housing situations. They may be worried about coming into contact with services because of the repercussions of that, if they aren’t here legally, potentially.”

3. I really hope the mother can be found and given support. The more I hear about this the more it seems like some sort of abuse and/or entrapment situation.

   I hope the children are off to a better life at the very least.

4. Maybe, actually, the parents don’t need support, maybe they need imprisonment?

5. It’s entirely possible that the woman is in an abusive situation and is being held captive and being forced to have babies.

   Of course Reddit would rather jump to racism

6. I always thought we should have baby boxes like they do in the US, where you can anonymously give away your baby should you not be able or capable to take care of them. I think it would prevent a lot of cases where babies just get left abandoned in unsafe places whether deliberately or not.

7. It’s fascinating how, without any knowledge about the parents whatsoever, so many people are absolutely certain they are either evil or vulnerable.

   If you see a gap in facts, which you have no personal need to be actively doing detective work to fill, just wait. It’s not rocket science. Move on and think ‘When we know more I’ll form an opinion then.

8. Did they name her Elsa because she was left out in the cold?

9. Three…that they know of.

   Others could have been left, kidnapped, or eaten for foxes.

10. Could it be likely there was a 4th baby too in the gap between the 3rd and 4th but it was never found?

11. I think it’s locals without access to a vehicle and likely some kind of abuse/captivity in an African household (they said the babies were black).

    There have been kids literally murdered in London as a result of African witchcraft rituals after all.

12. I thought there would have been CCTV cameras around the area.

13. Hopefully the Police are cross matching DNA to 23andMe and similar genealogy sites for a relative match for these children ……. doesn’t need much of a match to start narrowing down who these parents could be and then trying to work out the circumstances of what is really going on.

14. Does anyone else think it’s really weird and off how they named the baby Elsa (after the frozen character) after it was left in February in a bag and almost froze to death??

    It’s like a really shit joke, that poor child won’t want to be reminded of being dumped like that every day if it’s life. (I know adoptive parents could change the name but that’s not the point)

15. My theory is this is some form of rituals.

    If she wanted to the baby to survive she would have left them in a public space .

    I think this is some form of ritualistic sacrifice.

    Look it up , these things are common across certain cultures.
