Baby Elsa Adopted After Siblings Also Abandoned
8 Jan
Summary
- Three siblings, found abandoned between 2017 and 2024, are to be adopted.
- The parents of the three children have never been found by police.
- Baby Elsa was found in a shopping bag in sub-zero temperatures.
A baby girl, named Elsa, found abandoned in a shopping bag in east London earlier this year, will be adopted. She is the third child discovered to be a sibling to two others abandoned in 2017 and 2019. Despite a significant police investigation, the parents of Harry, Roman, and Elsa have never been identified.
Elsa, found in January 2024, has been in foster care and a judge has ruled she will remain with her current carers, paving the way for their adoption. Her siblings, Harry and Roman, have already been adopted. The judge noted the extraordinary circumstances, emphasizing the shared unique experience of being a foundling for these children.
Police have exhausted their enquiries into identifying the parents, utilizing DNA, CCTV, and rewards without success. The abandoned infants were likely left near the Greenway in Newham to ensure prompt discovery while allowing a covert exit. The case remains open for new information, with police urging anyone with details to come forward.
