Newborn baby left for dead after being dumped in drain full of red ants
UK Express ^ | Tue, Apr 10, 2018 | Tom Rawle

The shivering tot was found in a drain by rescuer Charmaine Keeby, 63, who had taken her dog for a walk.

Her sausage dog Georgie had began barking loudly at a duct.

The catering company boss believed her beloved pet had come across a stranded cat.

Yet when she looked down into the drain herself she realised she could hear a crying baby.

Charmaine quickly flagged down oncoming motorist Cornie Viljoen, 60, who helped remove the concrete slab covering the water drain using a steel bar from his car.

Cornie then bravely entered the duct, in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, dropping six feet down through a nest of red ants.

He said: "The baby was lucky the red ants were higher up in the drain and not down at the bottom where she was.

"I just do not know why anyone could do this to a newborn baby, but I was just so glad that we were able to help her and save her life.

"I told Charmaine to call the emergency services right away."

Perhaps this is what blackface governor Ralph Northam suggested for postpartum abortions

May God have mercy on the soul who did this. She certainly doesn’t know what awaits her in the afterlife.

Every time I think we’ve reached a new low, I’m proven wrong.

“Every time I think we’ve reached a new low, I’m proven wrong.”

There is never a low for progressives/leftists.

In any country.

There is only one solution for them - export them all to some hellhole wall it off, and guard that wall with machine guns, gas, flamethrowers, and pictures of Weinstein.

I read another thread earlier about a “fetus born alive “ - I guess this qualifies. God forgive us.

I just have a hard time thinking anyone can be so inhumane. But there are, and it always makes me sick to my stomach to face that reality.

How about a charge of attempted murder if mother is found?

Someone done threw away a perfectly good white baby!

Prayers up for her. God Bless the HERO that found her, and the HERO that helped in the rescue.

Kudos to the Sausage Dog, too! :)

In this case I LOVE a Happy Ending - with no sarcasm tag, either! :)
