Incredibly sad. A £5,000 reward is being offered for information about the suspected murder of a newborn baby whose body was found in a West Midlands canal. The Crimestoppers charity said it was offering the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for offences linked to the baby boy’s death. Police are still attempting to trace the mother of the infant, whose body was found on May 20, amid concerns for her welfare. Officers have previously said the full-term baby was “probably not alive” when he was put into the Wyrley and Essington Canal in Rough Wood country park, near Willenhall, Walsall, and may have been in the water for up to four days before being discovered. A passer-by discovered the baby at around 1pm in a stretch of canal off Hunts Lane. Mick Duthie, director of operations at Crimestoppers, said: “This is a particularly sad, tragic case and shocking for the community, so we are keen to have answers as to what happened and who was involved. www.devonlive.com/news/uk-world-news/5000-reward-offered-after-baby-5654531?fbclid=IwAR1Y6BQkPqZfQpXewHIYwWbm7zDGovt-Drs3fnx5DDrfmuH9O5gQAlV4Hes |

Was it chocolate coloured? Could have been a Royal.

I wonder if they will be able to determine the cause of death.
There will definitely be am inquest into the mental state of the mother and/or father.
It is sad really. I hope the baby gets a proper burial.

It's a dead baby. Ok so we can't do jokes.
What about the one about the Irishman who blew up a bus? Would that be okay?

One store I worked in had a funeral parlour next door. And our back doors were next to each other. We often chatted and had a giggle while we were out smoking.
Unless a tiny coffin was there, it was absolute silence.

It's sad when these babies are found, an act of desperation by young mothers who are not prepared or may not even know they are pregnant.
I do hope if they find mum shes given the right sort of support.

Unless the child was a relative of someone on here, why offensive? Children die all the time. It might not be nice but it's the way it is. We can't change that. Life is better, for many, if humour can be found in the midst of darkness. |

Life is better, for many, if humour can be found in the midst of darkness. Humour.. Yeah ok. Some like lighthearted humour, others find it a bore. Some like dark humour, others find it offensive. It wouldn't do if we were all the same. Nobody is pleased that the child died. |

Seems strange that the Police are so openly treating this as a case of murder when neonatal infanticide is normally treated as the action of somebody not in full control of their mental faculties. Reading between the lines, perhaps they do not think it was the mother who was responsible? |

I'm wondering if it's some kind of family 'honour' killing,in that a daughter has brought shame on the family.
