Possibly a 24-hour doctor on call. If you could also go to an ­Accident and Emergency, 24-hour care is available there. “We are here at Balbriggan Garda station on 01 666 4500. Any Garda station or Tusla can be contacted 24-hours a day on 081 877 6315. “I can assure you, you will be treated with the utmost of compassion and care and 100 per cent confidentiality. “I know you are a daughter. I know you are possibly a sister, a cousin. You may have a husband, a boyfriend. You may have confided in a friend. “So to anyone out there that the mother of this baby has got in touch with I am appealing to you to make contact with us.” Speaking alongside Eilidh MacNab, from the Child and Family Agency Tusla, cops confirmed the baby was white and at most was just days old. But they couldn’t say whether the mum had given birth on the beach, which is surrounded by cliffs and only accessible by a single-lane path. They said it was most likely the ­newborn was placed on the beach and not washed onto it. Superintendent Liam Geraghty added: “We don’t know the sex of the baby based on the position it was left in on the beach . . . it is a very, very newborn baby. We’re making an appeal for the mother in this case. “That lady that’s out there — be it a girl or woman — is in a tragic ­circumstance and we really need to try and look after her at this stage. “We are contacting all doctors and hospitals at the moment trying to find out if somebody has presented in that medical condition.” The remains have been removed to ­Temple Street Hospital. They will then go to the City Morgue pending a ­postmortem either today or tomorrow, which will determine the exact age and gender.

A volunteer cleaning the area found the infant on Balbriggan strand, north of Dublin, at around 10am on Saturday. The scene has been sealed off and a post-mortem is due to be conducted. Irish police say they are concerned about the well-being of the baby's mother and have appealed for her to come forward. A Garda spokesman said: "We are concerned for her safety and health given what she has gone through." Advertisement The main railway line between Dublin and Belfast runs along the inside of the beach. The area is made up of a mixture of sand and shingle coves and is close to Balbriggan harbour on Ireland's picturesque east coast. Irish senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee said: "I'm distraught to learn of the discovery of the body of a baby on Balbriggan Beach today. "I'd appeal for the mother to come forward for medical treatment. You'll be treated with compassion." :: Police have asked for anyone who may have information to contact them on 01 8020510.<doc-sep>Authorities found the body of 8-month-old King Jay Davila wrapped in a blanket and buried in a backpack on San Antonio's Northeast Side, according to court records. The affidavit says Christopher Davila, the boy's father, led police to the burial site, located at a dead end near Castle Lance and Castle Prince, less than a mile from Davila's home. He is now charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury by omission, a 1st-degree felony, along with felon in possession of a firearm, drug possession and tampering with evidence. His bail has been set at $1.25 million. The discovery caps a week-long search for the missing child that captivated the city. It began with Davila calling police to claim the baby was inside a car that had been stolen from a San Antonio gas station -- a claim police said they almost immediately doubted. Finding King Jay, however, is not the end of this investigation, McManus said. "This is not the finish line, in fact, the hard part of the investigation is just beginning," he said. "The investigation won't be finished until we can answer how exactly King Jay died, who knew it, and when they knew it."

At some point, the car seat fell over, sending King Jay to the floor. Davila indicated the boy might have hit his head on a dresser on the way down. Rather than seek medical attention for the boy, Davila apparently waited for several hours, then checked on King Jay and discovered he was dead, according to the affidavit. "He said King Jay's death was an accident," San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said at a Friday morning press conference. "He panicked and did not call 911." ON EXPRESS-NEWS.COM: Asked where missing San Antonio child is, grandfather says: 'Only God knows.' Instead, he enlisted the help of his mother, Beatrice Sampayo, and his cousin, Angie Torres, to cover up King Jay's death by faking the kidnapping, officials said. McManus said he and investigations noticed inconsistencies almost right away and continued to pull at those threads until the story came apart. "When (Davila's) story started to unravel...it's when he broke down," McManus said. "His story weakened and he figured he wasn't going to get away with it." Torres and Sampayo are facing charges of tampering with evidence, but investigators have requested arrest warrants for the two women on charges of injury to a child. An autopsy on King Jay will likely be conducted today. McManus and newly installed DA Joe Gonzales said they will continue the investigation and additional arrests and charges are possible.

"Maybe she is under a lot of pressure, we don’t know the circumstances and the matter is very delicate. "Maybe her family and friends are aware of her situation and they could assist her in coming forward. She needs to talk to somebody. "God almighty. We don’t know the circumstances but to think of anyone that might have had to go through that alone and also in those terrible weather conditions, alone on a beach. "I can’t bear to think of it.
