On Monday a 21-year-old Verulam woman appeared in court charged with child abandonment.
The woman was arrested after CCTV footage emerged of her leaving the two-month-old baby outside a restaurant in the Verulam CBD on Friday night.
Reaction Unit SA's Prem Balram who apprehended the woman admitted to abandoning her baby because she claimed the child's father failed to provide any financial support for the baby which resulted in her actions.
Last month a foetus was found on a FlySafair flight headed from Durban to Johannesburg.
The cleaning staff found a blockage in the lavatory and a suction had to be used. A case of concealment of birth was opened.
