Police release image to find mother of abandoned baby George found in Kings Norton
West Midlands Police has released an image of a woman they want to speak to in connection with baby George, who was found abandoned in Kings Norton last month.
Detectives have been searching for the mother of baby George since he was found on Thursday 22 April.
The image has been created by a specialist colleague at Thames Valley Police, after speaking to a key witness.
Police say they're concerned about the mother and want to check he is doing okay, both physically and mentally.
The baby boy was found on The Mound, off Shannon Road in Kings Norton, at around 5.40pm.
Hospital staff have named him George, as he was found the day before St George’s Day.
He was possibly only hours old when he was found, clothed and wrapped in a blanket, by a dog walker.
Detective Inspector Neil Hunt, who is leading the investigation, said: "We’re ready to offer you any help and support you may need. George is safe and well, and your health and wellbeing is our priority - please be assured that you are not in any trouble."
What do we know so far?
George was discovered by a dog walker in the afternoon of Thursday 22 April at The Mound in Kings Norton.
He was dressed in an orange and white stripy 'Dino Dude' tee-shirt, grey trousers and was wrapped in a grey and white zig zag pattern blanket.
He was taken straight to hospital where he is thought to be full-term, healthy and doing well.
West Midlands Police later released footage of a woman they believe may be able to help with their enquiries.
They say she was seen walking along Shannon Road just before ten past five.
"Gentle giant" husky dog praised for finding abandoned newborn baby in Birmingham park
George was discovered by semi-retired royal engineer Terry Walsh and his husky, Hel.
The 64-year-old says he would have walked past what he thought was a "discarded blanket" if it hadn't been for the help of his pet.
Mr Walsh explains how the baby boy started crying after Hel ran over to him, lay beside him and started to gently nudge him with her nose.
Mr Walsh explains how he rushed over to a woman, who was also out walking, and told her of his discovery. She then called the police before accompanying Mr Walsh to try and settle the baby."
She picked the baby up. I kept hold of Hel - who just wanted to mother the child - and waited until the police came," says Mr Walsh."Clearly he was cold and the baby was getting the heat from the woman. If it hadn't been for Hel, I wouldn't have known. All I would've thought is that it's a rolled up blanket."
