A newborn baby found abandoned in a carrier bag was discovered by children on their way to school.

The little girl, who is black or Asian, was crying when she was found wrapped in a blue blanket and placed inside a re-useable blue Tesco carrier bag outside a third-floor flat in Flaxman Road, Brixton, south London.

She has been named Grace by King's College Hospital staff who are caring for her.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said they want to speak urgently to the little girl's mother.

He added: "It is believed the baby was left outside the address after 4.20am this morning, as the occupant had returned from working a night shift at that time."

Inspector Simon Rooke, from Lambeth Police, said: "She was very, very cold but, due to the speedy discovery by these children, she was brought to hospital very quickly and treated."

He said the mother could be suffering both physically and mentally. We may be looking at heavy blood loss and the sooner we can locate her the sooner she can get medical help.

"I would ask her to please contact us as soon as possible. We are most concerned about her welfare at this time."

He added: "I would like to stress to anyone who hears this appeal, in particular the mother, that they should not hesitate to call us.

"We are concerned for the welfare of the mother and want to ensure that she is receiving the appropriate medical attention.

"All information will be treated with sensitivity and in the strictest confidence. We can be contacted on 0300 123 1212, or if to request immediate medical assistance please call 999."

What's worse is that these kind of incidents are becoming a regular occurrence in this country...:(

What you see is what you get with Axl. The guy is a legend and a Black Label brother. He's the shit. I played with Guns N' Roses [in the mid-90s]. I was in Studio B and they were in Studio A. So I played Axl some of my shit, like 13 Years Of Grief. And he was like "Zakk, what fuckin' market are you trying to reach with that?" I told him "I dunno, the fuckin' farmer's market?"
So we ended up hanging and jamming together - me, Axl, Slash, Duff [McKagan], Matt [Sorum] and Dizzy [Reed]. And I was like 2Axl, when are you gonna start singing on this shit? Let's quit fuckin' around here!" And that's when Black Label Society was born because I had all these riffs hanging around, and I thought, "Fuck it, I'll do it myself." But it's not because Axl is hard to work for. It's because he cares. He had so much passion. And I'd rather have that than some douchebag who doesn't give a fuck.
What do I think of Chinese Democracy? The wife bought me a copy and it got smashed in my luggage, so I had to fuckin' buy another one. No, Axl didn't send me a copy. But he's a beautiful guy.

This is from the same issue as the Niven interview, and since I'm guessing I'm the only one who actually bought it... I typed this out.
