Imagine dusting off the old wise men and attempting to assess if any of the manager animals needs a spot of paint here and there when your attention is drawn to the manger by the cries of a newborn infant with umbilical cord still attached. Well that is exactly what happened in Richmond Hill, NY at the Holy Child Jesus Church. The baby boy was discovered by a custodian who followed the cries to the indoor crèche being setup near the alter. The baby was transported to Jamaica Hospital were he weighed in just over 5 pounds and measured 17 inches long. Staff has related that the newborn is in stable condition.
It was noted that by law a church is considered a safe haven for drop offs, but you are supposed to hand it off to a responsible person. I say fuck that, this is one that didn't end up tossed from the 14th floor, was asphyxiated by a garbage bag to be tossed in a bin or hastily buried in some anonymous, scrabble hardened ground.
