Police confirm newborn baby discovered near river after evidence of birth found on riverbank.
Following a discovery made on Monday near a river in Sydney, forensic tests have now confirmed that a baby boy was born. The evidence found at the Cooks River, near Wardell Road in Earlwood, prompted a call to emergency services at 4.30pm on May 27. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the baby was indeed male, according to a statement released by the NSW Police.

The search for the mother and child is still ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. Concerns for the well-being of both the mother and child are at the forefront of the investigation, with police stressing the importance of the mother seeking immediate medical attention at a nearby hospital.

Mangroves were the location where the placenta and umbilical cord were discovered, adding to the mystery surrounding the birth of the baby boy. Just earlier this week, Burwood Superintendent Christine McDonald spoke of her concern for the mother's safety and well-being. She emphasized the need for support and care for the mother during this time.

Superintendent McDonald also made it clear that there would be no judgement involved in the investigation, and that there is currently no evidence to suggest any intentional harm towards the baby. The focus remains on finding the mother and ensuring that she and the child receive the necessary support and care.

Authorities are appealing to the public for any information that may help in locating the mother and child. The safety and welfare of both individuals are of the utmost importance, and the police are determined to find the answers needed to ensure their well-being.
