Newborn boy left in babybox in Prague

A new-born boy was placed in a babybox in Prague on Wednesday evening at around six p.m. The founder of the Czech baby box network, Ludvík Hess, said the baby was placed in the box immediately after birth and that the child’s condition was stable. The baby, who was given the name Tomáš, was the second in one week to be abandoned in this manner. There are currently a total of 63 baby boxes in the Czech Republic, and in the past nine years, 67 girls and 44 boys were left in them.
