Ewww........
I do loads of walking, climbing and wandering about in the hills, over rock faces and countryside and discovering something as horrific as this would be a nightmare.
Really scary stuff.
The worst Ive come across is in dead animal form which is gros enough but just imagine this...
Ugh!

We once found a new born baby with the cord and placenta still attached near someones back gate the police named her baby Alice don't know what became of her

Aww Mick how very traumatic.
Thats a dreadful discovery

Mick · 24-03-2009, 07:52

the baby was still alive and i believe found a new home
it was in a back ally just across from where i lived we brought it in and rang the police and ambulance
the police got there first and the poor officer that picked the baby up did not know what to do when the placenta slipped and was swinging about hehe
i do know there was a good ending to this though as the officer told me they had placed the baby that had been named Alice with a foster home and was doing well thanks to us finding it so quick
It was reported in the observer and they did try to find the mother but they never did find her

Awwww... I remember being on duty when baby Alice was brought in to us. She was in good condition and was soon fostered.

Mick · 24-03-2009, 08:38

yep thats the one did not realise it was that long ago though

flashy · 24-03-2009, 08:51

yeah she will be 14 this year then Mick, and its all thanks to you, if you hadnt have found her then she most probably wouldnt be as old as she is now

Was once staying in Bells Hill, just outside Glasgow and we saw a body lying on the footpath near the hotel we were staying in, turned out the guy had murdered. It appeared it wasn't a rare thing there had been four murders within the last few weeks, a very scary place
