Investigators are using footage from close circuit television cameras to help them find those responsible for dumping twin stillborn babies at Forres Park landfill site in Claxton Bay on Wednesday.
The tiny bodies of the girl and boy were discovered around 7 am by a scavenger who went to investigate what a corbeaux was pecking on. When he walked closer he saw a baby's foot protruding from a soiled grey blanket. He then found the body of a second baby.
Also responded to the horrific incident, the Children's Association has appealed to parents who are unable to care for their children to seek help.
"The Authority, which is responsible for the care and protection of children, believes that every child should be given the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential. Parents and guardians are entrusted with the responsibility to provide a loving, nurturing and safe environment for their children. However, when expectant mothers and fathers are uncertain about their ability to care for their unborn child, they are invited to contact the Authority to explore their options, in a confidential and nonjudgmental environment," according to a release.
The Authority also appealed to other parents who are concerned that their children are not receiving the best possible care to also contact the organisation.
The Authority also reminded the public that alternative family options such as adoption and foster care can only be arranged by the Authority which can be contacted at 996 or 800-2014. An autopsy on the bodies at the Forensic Science Centre was inconclusive. The police have been checking with health centres, hospitals and private clinics to determine whether any of the pregnant women, especially those expecting twins, were due to give birth around this time.
Investigators have also appealed to members of the public who may have any information about the parents of the babies or those responsible for discarding the babies bodies to come forward.
