What a poor little bundle! And what for terrible parents - throwing the child on the floor! And...two thumbs up for the General Hospital in Tangerang to care for this poor baby free of charge! Cleft lips and palates can be treated as I know from a baby in my neighbourhood which was also born like that and now, around 3 years later, this child is as active and sweet as any other child its age and there is almost no visible mark on her!

A newly born baby was allegedly abandoned by his parents in Tangerang, Banten because they were embarrassed by his deformed lips.

Local residents told SCTV they saved the baby after the couple threw him on the ground. The parents then rode off on a motorbike.

“When we saw the baby, we tried to chase them but they were so fast,” said a local named Darti.

The baby was taken to Tangerang General Hospital for treatment. He was fed through a tube because he cannot suckle.

Hospital spokesman Dr Ahmad Muchlis said the hospital would take care of the baby until his parents are found, and no bill would be charged.

Teluknaga Police are investigating and will notify the Social Office about the abandoned baby.

Lip deformities are usually the result of cleft lip or cleft palate. They are highly treatable with surgery, especially early in life.
