In the PHILIPPINES a plane landed at the Manila airport. One on the maintenance workers was taking out one of the garbage cans from the air plane and he noticed something moving inside the garbage bag. He opened the bag and started looking through the garbage and he found a newborn baby at the bottom of the bag. Airport staff named the mystery baby George Francis after the name of the flight. They also bathed him and wrapped him in cotton. A search is on for the mother who is believed to be Filipino. Manny Filipinos work as domestics around the gulf. In the end if the mother can not be found the baby will be taken in by there relatives or put up for adoption.
I think that this incident is very tragic and I can't even imagine doing anything like this but you have to look at this from her point of view. This women worked as a domestic so it was probably a pretty hard life. She was probably poor so she wouldn't be able to afford health care or even be able to take care of the baby. Life may have been very difficult working in the Gulf. The child might have been illegitimate or even worse, she may have been raped. It's hard to imagine what was going through her head. She must have been very upset and probably afraid. Thankfully, the baby has been rescued and is healthy and strong.
