Brutal scenes in Brussels as a newborn baby and family are forced to sleep on the cold streets — on nothing but cardboard.
Photos show a tiny infant wrapped in a baby grow and a thin blanket, squeezed between exhausted parents trying to get some rest. You’d think this nightmare was from a war-torn third world country.
