Just goes to prove we're actually quite well regarded after all.
Hope they find his mum, she must be beside herself, despite leaving him.
Poor woman, he's in good hands, it's her people need to think of now.

Poor Woman hope she's ok. Must've been desperate to leave her newborn. Glad the lady was in and hadn't gone away on hols! Hope it's a happy ending

Ahh that is so sad, whoever left him wanted him to be found and kept safe.

I hope they find the courage to come forward and be reunited with their son.

Was the childminder registered for overnight care?

On a serious note, I do hope they find the mother and she gets the help she needs. I can't ever imagine being in such a desperate situation that I feel the only answer left is to leave my baby on a door step.

Things like this make me want to cuddle my children that little bit tighter and tell them i love them that little bit more.

Poor baby :-( hope mum comes forward she must know this childminder or has been keeping tabs on her, hope the story has a happy ending x

wonder if mum is a young mum

hope they are reunited very soon....

So glad the baby is ok and the despite how bad a situation the mum is in having to leave her baby. She had enough love for the baby to take him to someone who would make sure he was alright.
