For me, this photo is real. Someone found it dead in a field and the case was handed over to the authority.

What this picture brought to mind for me was…”a face only a mother could love”.

it’s not an alien, or a freak, or horror story. it’s someone’s child.

Poor little mite. How anyone could just dump their own flesh and blood is beyond me. It’s not the baby’s fault he/she looks this way. I really hope he/she didn’t suffer.

Hi Claudia, In fact I got the full video but doubt whether it is good to show it to public. Thanks for the link anyway.
Really sad when looking at the baby.

thats cruel to leave a baby dead in a field, even if it looks like that.

this Harlequin Baby picture is real, a fetus while still being in the stomach is diagnosed with something called Congenital ichthyosis. At birth the baby is born with yellowish skin almost as thin as paper which means it tears easily, the reason the eyes and the lips are red is cause they are constantly bleeding.Most are born with only 3 toes and finger.Most when born die after about 3 hours.The longest one has ever live is to about 23 year then it died.The chance of this happing is very very rare,like 2 every other year.

I’ve never heard or seen anything like this O.o I feel so sorry for the baby…..it’s more painful for it to go through the torment of people’s words, though, if it does grow up. T^T I don’t knwo if that sounded wrong or anything, but I meant it in a good way T^T
Either way…..O.O
