| Singapore retiree saves baby buried alive: Report |
| 2011-04-21 |
| [Arab News] A Singaporean newspaper is reporting that a retiree saved a newborn baby who had been buried alive in a flower garden. Whoa! I think I read this book! The New Paper quoted Tay Kim Sia as saying he was smoking a cigarette on the rooftop terrace of his apartment building earlier this week when he noticed tiny legs sticking up out of a large planter box. The paper says Tay dug around the legs and found a baby boy with his umbilical cord still attached and a black plastic bag tied around his neck. The father told the mother the kid was born dead... The paper says other seniors nearby helped clean the baby and called police. The paper says the baby was hospitalized but healthy. Police spokeswoman Yvonne Edwin said Wednesday no one had come forward to claim the baby and the police investigation was ongoing. So the kindly old guy and his wife take the kid in, see. They name him Benedetto, because they're so happy to have the child they've always wanted. Benedetto grows up to be a hoodlum and a disappointment to them. Eventually he's for the high jump, but the Count of Monte Cristo buys his freedom from the Pope and Benedetto shows up in Gay Paree posing as the son of Major Cavalcante... |
