June 7, 2012 · 10 Comments
ISTANBUL — A teenage girl gave birth to a child as she walked down a street in Istanbul’s Bağcılar district last night before leaving the newborn on the pavement, according to camera footage.
The 16-year-old reportedly informed her parents about her pregnancy that night, and the three were reportedly heading toward a health center when she delivered the baby as she walked.
The camera shows the three figures staring at the baby on the ground and then walking away from it, leaving the bloody child on the pavement.
The girl reportedly returned home, where she changed her clothes before being taken to a hospital by her parents.

The baby was later discovered by a child passing by, and locals immediately alerted authorities. Police officers arrived soon after and took the abandoned baby to a hospital.
The child’s father, a 17-year-old boy that lives in the same neighborhood as the girl, was immediately taken into custody. Police officers are still searching for the older brother of the boy, a police officer.
The parents of the teenage mother were released on prosecutor’s orders after questioning.
The baby is reportedly in good health and will be passed on to the Social Services and Child Protection Agency when released from hospital.

Shocking story, you can't just abandoned the baby, its totally wrong. You see what the world is coming to, majority of the people have left their deen. This is the outcome of leaving your deen. Poor baby.
It is very amazed indeed that flabbergasted so many people viewed this shocking incident. Babies are one of the most valuable and previous gifted so we can not leave behind like this at all.
Heartless grandparents, they must have forced the girl leave her baby on the pavement.
This Thing happen all over The world even somalia These days a lot becuase no real Authority, leaving new born babies in The toilets front door hospitals police stations shopping malls.
Seeing other babies and pregnant females in a delicate situation of contractions and the delivery rooms, this one defies all rules what a child – It is not what one wishes but Masha Allah.
awhh that's cruel wallahi..
The parents of the girl should be given lengthy prison sentences for attempted murder as the baby could have died due to their negligence.
What on Earth is the world coming to these days. What an awful act, I say.
