Community offers to claim baby found dead at recycling centre
Kia ora neighbours, an Auckland Councillor and an Onehunga church have offered to claim the baby girl found dead at an Auckland recycling centre, so she can have a proper burial.
The body of the newborn baby girl, born at full term, was found at Visy Recycling, in Onehunga, on August 16 after being brought to the centre in a truckload of waste.
Maungakiekie-Tamaki ward councillor Josephine Bartley said she had emailed police on Monday night stating that if the newborn was left unclaimed, the Onehunga community could claim her.
