Poor little sod. Anencephaly, with severe cleft palate? I dunno..just a bad guess. It is NOT fake though. The truth really is stranger than fiction.
It looks like they were just leaving it to die. It can't feed with a mouth disfigurement like that and I didn't see any feeding tubes...not saying there aren't any, I just didn't see any.
Any docs here who know what this is?
I'm not a doctor but I think this might be a condition called Trisomy 13... there's a few posts floating around on here that i've seen and this child has similar characteristics to those in the other posts...
