You are my primary concern right now, and we really need to make sure you’re okay. I don’t know the circumstances around George’s birth but, as a parent myself, I know exactly how overwhelming becoming a parent can be. “We’re ready to offer you any help and support you may need. George is safe and well, and your health and wellbeing is our priority – please be assured that you are not in any trouble. “If anyone thinks they know who George’s mother is, I’d urge you to come forward to help me locate her − you can contact us in confidence. “I’d also like to hear from anyone who was in the area between 5pm and 6pm last Thursday, 22 April.
