Police found the baby wrapped in a blanket, with an extra diaper and full milk bottle.<\/p>\n
In the letter, written in English and Siswati, the woman asks the SAPS not to try and trace her because she cannot care for her child as a sex worker.
\nShe pleads with social workers to find the baby a loving family that will adopt the child.<\/p>\n
“As a sex worker, I do not know who the father of the child is. Just make sure you find good parents for him,” it reads.
\nShe also included the baby’s name and date of birth.<\/p>\n
Police took the baby to social workers.<\/p>\n
