A newborn in the hospital – Ansa Archive
An abandoned baby found in a garbage bag and thankfully saved. It is a merchant from via Saragat, in Ragusa, who tells what happened last night. “I was passing in front of the butcher shop, there were no parked cars – he tells the Agi agency – and I saw a garbage bag. I went over to dump it in the nearby bins. Unfortunately, people often leave their garbage here in front of me. I went downstairs and at that point I heard moans. I turned on the phone light because this point is dark and I just opened the bag … a child. Was a kid “.
Therefore, the baby had not been thrown into the bins, but was still dangerously placed in a bag in front of the store.
Probably the baby, a boy, had just given birth. “It was wrapped in a blanket, full of blood. I will not forget it in my whole life. They told me the little one is fine. I’m happy. The savior, according to Agi, thinks about the woman who left him. “Who knows if she chose it and how lonely she must have felt, now that it is also possible to entrust a child to the hospital.” And he adds: “They didn’t throw it away, maybe they knew someone would come by at that time.
The baby is fine, he is in the neonatal intensive care of the John Paul II hospital as a precaution. Health workers gave him the name Vittorio Fortunato.
In Italy there are cribs for life, where a child can be put to bed without risking their health. But “anonymous birth”, the most adequate and fair solution, is required by law: a woman can give birth in hospital, without risk to anyone, and entrust the child who will then be placed in foster care or adoption.
In any case, a wave of solidarity has already emerged around Vittorio Fortunato. In fact, 20 Ragusan families have already contacted social services for their reception. Mayor Peppe Cassì explains that “to the chilling news of the discovery by a newborn, Ragusa responded with the solidarity that distinguishes us and already about 20 families have contacted our social services in the morning to request custody of the minor – says – “. Our social services are monitoring the case and are awaiting indications from the Juvenile Court. When he is discharged, on the advice of the Juvenile Court, he may be admitted to a protected structure or direct custody or adoption procedures may be initiated “.
