Family Court Reveals That 3 Abandoned Babies in London Share the Same Mother


The Family Court has lifted restrictions on reporting that a baby found in a park in east London in January shares the same mother as two other abandoned children.

A baby girl discovered abandoned in a park in east London this winter has been revealed to have the same mother as two siblings who were also abandoned in 2017 and 2019.

The latest child, named Elsa by hospital staff, was found in a shopping bag, in sub-zero temperatures, at the junction of Greenway and High Street South in East Ham on Jan. 18, 2024, believed to be less than an hour old.

Subsequent DNA testing confirmed she is a full sister to two other babies who were abandoned in east London in 2017 and 2019.

A girl, initially named Roman, was discovered in a playground area in Newham on Jan. 31, 2019.

She was named after the nearby Roman Road but has since been adopted with a name change by her new parents.

Rima Zvaliauskas, who found Roman while walking her dog, expressed to the BBC in 2019 that she was “shocked and stressed” upon finding the child after hearing noise from a shopping bag.

A boy, known as Harry, was found wrapped in a blanket in Balaam Street, Plaistow, on Sept. 17, 2017, and has also since been adopted and given a new name.
