Update on Babito and New Baby

Overwhelming Response Following Appeal for Help

A box of diapers just opened

Following an appeal at KSB for help linked to Lady Babito and her new baby, reports reaching KSB indicate that there has been a massive response which has surprised the Good Samaritan who has been helping Babito. Barely twenty four hours after the appeal went out, a flood of donations of different descriptions began to flow in the flat where Babito lives.

Through agents, KSB has learnt that a mountain of diapers is now packed in the flat and to quote a source, “there is no more space” in the balcony which is packed with diapers. “We are overwhelmed and you people have done a fantastic job”, a source said referring to KSB and agents.

There was also an appeal for formula milk and, according to sources, the amount of milk that has so far been received is enough to feed the baby “indefinitely” and more is still pouring in.

“We are extremely grateful to KSB”, a source at the Good Samaritan’s house is quoted to have told an agent. “It is incredible what can happen within such a short time”, the source added. The baby now has two prams, a situation which has created problems with space while the pile of clothes that have so far been donated is said to be “enough for now”.

A new pram packed with baby clothes had to be detained by a woman donor because reports from the flat where the baby is living indicated that “there was no more space” where another pram could fit.

The family is thankful to all donors who responded with lightning speed following the appeal. In the meantime, sources have confirmed that some donors have been pumping cash in a Nordea account linked to the baby although the exact amount so far raised could not immediately be established because no auditing has been done. The last time an update was made available to KSB by the person in charge, someone had pumped in 500 kr. A comprehensive audit of the help will be made available as soon as it is received from the subjects.

In the meantime, an interesting twist to the saga has also emerged. It is reported that after the story exploded at KSB, the Swedish father of the baby surfaced with a pack of diapers and some milk for the baby. This was positive.

It has also emerged that there are “some people” who have put both Babito and the Good Samaritan under immense pressure after they made a public appeal for help when the situation became desperate.

This new development has prompted KSB’s “Department of Intelligence” to allocate extra agents to try and establish who these people are and why they are opposed to public help for Babito and child in a situation that clearly called for outside help.

Another interesting development is that it has emerged that the Swedish father has another girlfriend who is said to be behind the rejection of Babito and whose romantic interests may be threatened in case the Swedish guy begins to develop serious attachments to both the baby and Babito.

KSB’s agents are working in shifts 24/7 to unravel details that could help KSB readers understand the real puzzle that could have landed Babito in such a difficult situation. As we went to press, an agent reported that she has established that Babito has an Auntie who lives outside Stockholm and who is reported to be unhappy about current developments.

What is not known is why the Auntie refused to help Babito at a time when she was homeless with a new baby and the reasons why she is reported to be unhappy with current developments. The main story may have just began.
