The man who found a baby in a dumpster and later discovers it is his own
Suddenly needing a crib, diapers and baby clothes, a new Calgary father was in a rush to get the essentials for his little boy. His newborn baby was found in a northwest garbage bin -- by himself without knowing he was looking at his son.
His 29-year-old girlfriend was complaining she wasn't well. Her sickness had been common lately. So he went home. But as he parked at his Queen's Park Village townhome off 40th Avenue N.W. and walked out, a stranger spoke up. A girl said, 'I think I hear a baby in the Dumpster.' With no knowledge at the time that this was his kid whatsoever, he went running over there, stood beside the Dumpster and heard the baby cry. He jumped in and removed the stuff. He personally opened the bag and uncovered all the stuff off.
The father was taken to police for interviewing and the mom, who was still in the apartment as the rescue was going on, was taken to hospital about an hour after the discovery. A third man, James Patton, helped by removing his shirt to keep the baby warm. It wasn't until the police interview was over at 9 p.m. that police confirmed he was the baby's father. Police say he was shocked.
Both the father and police say the woman accused of abandoning her newborn boy didn't realize she was pregnant.

At last! An end to the elf 'n' safety madness as meddling officials face fines if they ban events
Health and safety zealots blamed for creating a ‘national neurosis’ are finally to be reined in.
Meddling officials who attempt to ban events or activities on the grounds that they breach red tape will themselves be threatened with huge fines under Government plans.
And emergency workers, teachers and office workers are to be freed from the compensation culture where someone must be held to account for everyday mishaps and accidents.
