The mother of baby found on Kings Norton park land in April has been identified.
The baby boy was found on The Mounds, off Shannon Road on Thursday 22 April. He was found clothed and wrapped in a blanket by a dog walker.
The little lad is said to be doing really well and is being well cared for.
West Midlands Police (WMP) praised the support from the public and media and said it had “been instrumental in identifying the mother”. They received an overwhelming response with more than 1000 lines of enquiry and have since been able to locate the baby’s mother.
As stated in their public appeals, priority was always to ensure the Child’s mother was safe and supported. WMP have today confirmed that no further action will be taken by them and, with partners, are ensuring that she is getting the appropriate support and care she needs.
A spokesperson for WMP said: “This is a very upsetting case, we would ask you not to speculate any further, as this is deeply distressing for those concerned.
“We would like to thank you for all your help and support in what has been a very sensitive and emotive matter for everyone including investigators who have worked tirelessly to ensure this outcome. We wish the baby all the best in the future. See less”
