Woman comes forward to reclaim child left in babybox

A woman who left her seven-month-old son in a babybox in the Prague district of Hloubětín on Wednesday has come forward saying she wants the child back, the website of TV Nova reported. The founder of the Czech Republic’s network of babyboxs, Ludvík Hess, said the mother had had problems with money and accommodation when she decided to abandon her son. A court will decide next week whether to return the child, the website said. Since the system was launched in 2005, 26 infants have been left anonymously in babyboxes, 13 of them in Hloubětín.
