Package contains orphaned baby
PURWOKERTO, Central Java: A lecturer at the Gen. Soedirman University here, Ratmi Sholehah, found a baby boy in a package sent by an unknown party on Thursday night.
Antara reported late Friday that the baby, about three weeks old, was placed in an instant noodle box and placed at Ratmi's garage.
Half an hour later Ratmi said she received a phone call from an anonymous man, asking her to take care of the baby.
"The baby's mother died giving birth to him," Ratmi quoted the caller as saying. Ratmi said the next day she received a similar call from a woman, who added that the baby's name would be informed to her later.
Ratmi said a number of neighbors already requested that they raise the infant. Ratmi said she reported the matter to the Banyumas police. "(However) if this is my fortune I will raise the baby well," she said.
