Case
Study
#1—Abandoned
Babies™
Ezra
was
three
months
old
when
he died.
Or
at
least
we
think
he
was;
perhaps
he
was
older,
or
younger...
it's
hard
to
tell.
All
we
know
is
that
he
was about
six
weeks
old
when
someone
dressed
him
in
a
white
baby
gown,
wrapped
him
in
a
fluffy
blue
blanket
andleft him
to
diein
a
large
hole
in
the
ground
next
to
a
highway
in
Johannesburg.
It
was midnight
on
a
cold
night
in
May
and,
with
the
curfew
in
place,
he
shouldn't
have
been
found.
But
he
was.
Three
homeless
men
looking
for
a
place
to
keep
warm
heard
him
crying. As
two
of
the
men
climbed
into
the
hole
to
find
the
baby,
the
other
flagged
down
a
police
car
patrolling
the
area.
The
officer
called
for
backup
and
the
second
responder,
a
policewoman,
rescued
Ezra.
Poignant
photographs
show
her
cuddling
him
on
her
lap
in
the
police
van.
His
rescue
was miraculous;
the
stuff
of
fairy
tales.
