"We haven't heard from her since August, she hasn't called us again, but Sabrina has a family, and we've never abandoned her".
The voice of a person very close to the relatives of the Sardinian girl who gave birth in Milan and then left the baby in the hospital comes from the area of the Metropolitan City of Cagliari : she lives on the street and fears for the health of the little one, who could not be with the mother under a tent set up as best as possible in front of the San Donato underground station.
It is true that the young woman (whose identity we know but we do not reveal it for her protection) does not have the documents: «But how is it possible – the family members ask on the phone with UnioneSarda.it – that when she gave birth to the baby no one bothered to get him new ones? It is not necessary for him to return to Sardinia, he could make them directly in Milan ». They knew nothing about the pregnancy: «And she probably didn't notice it either . She has had addiction problems for some time and we have always offered her our help . When she disappeared the first time, to go to Germany, we filed a missing persons report, at least an attempt to find her and know that she was fine».
But in Germany there have been serious troubles and Sabrina, inseparable from her companion Michael, also Sardinian, has received the expulsion order. It was then that the couple landed in Lombardy, in precarious conditions.
«The last contact was in August, it was a few days before his birthday and he asked for money as a gift. On that occasion he reiterated: “ I don't want to go back to Sardinia, I don't do anything there. I want to be with Michael and continue to live on the street ”».
In the thoughts of the family there is also that child left in the hospital: "Sabrina couldn't take care of him, she struggles to take care of herself, let alone a newborn".
The discovery of what happened to the 23-year-old in recent days was made by reading our article, the mother was incredulous, "deeply saddened. Because here we are with open arms to help Sabrina, but she must want to be helped, by us and by competent people, as a community".
The story has moved all of Italy and there are several people who have offered a hand to the boys, unfortunately with poor results. Among these are the Belsanti family, Rocco Salvatore and his wife Cristina: " We saw a post on Facebook and immediately wanted to intervene - they explain - First of all we called the hospital where the child is, we wanted to take some clothes or something useful . Nothing exaggerated, we are not rich. But they shut the phone down on us. They have probably received many offers like ours and a bit of chaos has arisen».
But the Belsantis did more: they went to the San Donato Metro station in search of Sabrina and Michael: « The intention was to take them home with us for a hot meal, a shower, some comfort and maybe some clothing . She cried, hid behind open umbrellas, and he treated us meanly. We fear that there may also be some episodes of violence behind it, the girl seemed scared, lost, she tried to indulge him but he reacted badly, he was angry at all the media interest that was unleashed".
Rocco Salvatore and Cristina didn't let go , they were there to offer concrete help, even a job: «We took their situation to heart, we know what it means to have a moment of difficulty. Yet it has been clear that they do not want to be helped. On the contrary: he doesn't want to, and she does what she is told . In order to be able to intervene, it would be important that they separate to each follow a suitable path. As far as we understand, that's not the intention."
They said little about the baby, «we didn't want to upset them further, but she, who gave birth on December 2, will certainly think of him, she is a mother . Michael was just annoyed. Indeed, perhaps she would have even wanted to keep it , this is the impression we had ».
The Belsantis are ready to act as a point of reference for Sabrina's family, "we are available, we would like this story to have a happy ending".
