SEMARANG - Police are investigating the discovery of a baby boy who is thought to have just been born in front of the house of a resident of Jalan Tambra Dalam, North Semarang, Semarang City, Central Java. The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the North Semarang Police, Iptu Kumaidi, said the baby was found in a bucket with a piece of paper that read "Ask, please, sir (ask to be taken care of, Ms.)". "It was first found by the owner of the house who owns a laundry business," he said in Semarang as quoted by Antara, Monday, May 6. A baby weighing 2.6 kilograms is thought to have just been born because there is still a rope attached.
