How can anyone do this to a child?

I really battled with myself whether to put this up or not. I've had the photos for a while but it just didn't seem right at first...but someone around me now said it's information and should be passed on. If some of you find it offensive, then I will take it down.

A few weeks back, some people (one of them a LIB reader who sent in the story and photos) saw this beautiful baby stone dead dumped at the canal before UNILAG maingate, at Abule Oja. They alerted the social workers at the Family Welfare Centre at Birrel Sabo, who came immediately and removed the baby from the canal. The LIB reader took some photos and sent to me...he said seeing that dead baby in that canal was the worst thing he had ever seen...and was in shock for days.

It's the saddest thing to see really. A child! Whoever did this, how dare you? Even if the child died at home or something, why not a proper burial? Incredibly sad. If you have stomach to, then see the beautiful baby after the cut...

Linda, please take this picture off..its so so sad and distressing. Please people,lets educate people that they can take their babies to motherless homes if they are not finacially capable as they will just tell the matrons in charge their challenge and they will only be required to bring little stuffs or nothing sef cos this is callous o..i cant carry a child for 9mths in my belly and now dump my baby inside canal..better still,take a bus to banana island or all this rich people places and drop the baby in front of their house and am sure they will take the baby to motherless home or adopt the child after necessary legal issues. This is really GROSSSSSS and so unfair.

A child was swept away into the canal in June this year at Gbagada. Who knows whether this is the body?

The evil that humans do. This is just sad and a very evil act. But there is always in most cases an underlying social situation that leads people to doing such acts. We need to improve our welfare system and the awareness on information concerning social welfare issues.May God forgive whoever dump that child and may the circumstances that led to that dumping be completely removed in the person's live.

Rather unfortunate, as a new mom it's very hard for me to look at the picture. I just hope the child didn't suffer too much, we can only assume what happened. The mother whom you have all cursed may not even be responsible, the child may have been kidnapped as a commentator mentioned. The child may have been ill and died and for whatever idiotic reason did not get buried with the respect accorded to a human. Whatever the case, may God rest his/her soul. Very sad.

HOW CAN MOTHER WHO CARRIED HER CHILD FOR NINE MONTHS WITH ALL D PAIN AND LABOUR DO DIS TO HER OWN CHILD? HER OWN FLESH AND BLOOD?. IF SHE CAN HANDLE IT FOR NINE MONTHS Y NOW? CHILDREN ARE GIFT FROM GOD. SOME WOMEN PRAY DAY AND NIGHT FOR JUST ONE AND YET GOD GAVE DIS LADY ONE AND SHE CHOOSE TO DO DIS? WEL EVERYBODY WIL ACCOUNT FOR HIS OR HER ACTION BE YOU BORN AGAIN OR NOT AND DIS GOES TO THE MOTHER OF THE CHILD. FOR EVERY YOUNG UNMARRIED OR MARRIED GIRL PLS NOTE DIS "IF U DONT WANT CHILDREN DEN STAY AWAY FROM THE PROCESS OF MAKING THEM" WHY BRING A CHILD INTO TO WORLD AND THEN KILL THE CHILD.LINDA I CANT STOP CRYINGMY HEART IS SO HEAVY. THE BABY IS SO CUTE. WHO SO EVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF THIS CHILD BE IT THE MOTHER OR SUM1 WHO IS AFTER THE MOTHER, WIL NEVA NO PEACE AND THE CRY OF THIS INNOCENT CHILD WIL CONTINUE TO HUNT U FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS A CHOICE TO MAKE.
