1yo Baby Boy Found on Phnom Penh Garbage Dump

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: On the evening of February 12, 2019, local inhabitants found a little boy, aged about 1 year old, crying at the garbage dump near Prampi Makara high way, Sangkat Psar Depo, Khan Toul Kok, Phnom Penh.

The police went to the scene and searched for the boy's parents, but there was nobody around to take care of him. It is suspected that he has been abandoned. The police decided to take the boy to the Ministry of Social Affairs to get him looked after while they search for parents or relatives.

Oh FFS - could they not have at least abandoned him at the pagoda, which is what happens with unwanted puppies and kittens?

He's quite a chunky lad, guessing there was a major change of circumstances at home.

Poor kid. I wonder what will actually happen to him. They hardly have the best social welfare if we’re honest with ourselves.

Yeah, he looks big and healthy. Clean clothes, hands, feet and face, if that's the way he was found, someones been taking care of him.

Maybe a very immature mom or dad is acting out their resentment or displeasure about something or other.
