Police confirm that a baby boy was born near a river after evidence of the birth was discovered.

According to recent forensic tests, it has been confirmed that a baby boy was born near a Sydney river on Monday. The discovery was made after a placenta and umbilical cord were found on the bank of the Cooks River near Wardell Road in Earlwood. Emergency services were called to the scene at 4:30 pm on May 27 when evidence suggested that a newborn had been delivered there.

In a statement released by NSW Police, it was stated that the baby is indeed a male, as confirmed by the forensic tests. The search for the mother and child is still ongoing, and authorities are deeply concerned about their well-being. As per the police, "Police hold serious concerns for the welfare of the child and his mother," and they are urging the mother to seek urgent medical care for both herself and her newborn at the nearest hospital.

The placenta and umbilical cord were discovered among the mangroves, adding to the mystery surrounding the circumstances of the baby's birth. Just a few days earlier, Burwood Superintendent Christine McDonald had expressed her concern for the mother's safety, stating that she only wanted to ensure that the mother was receiving the necessary support during this difficult time.

Superintendent McDonald also made it clear that there is no judgment involved in this investigation. The focus is solely on the safety and well-being of the mother and her child. So far, there is no evidence to suggest that the baby was intentionally harmed in any way.

Police are now appealing to anyone in the area who may have any information about this incident to come forward and assist with the investigation. The priority remains to locate the mother and child and ensure they receive the care they need.
