9 grieving moms lay claim to tiny tsunami survivor

[democracyindanger]

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka -- He has been dubbed Baby 81 by his nurses because the infant was the 81st admission at the hospital that fateful day the wave washed away his short history.

Now he nurses from a bottle of milk and kicks playfully at a pink blanket as nine desperate, heartbroken women quarrel over him -- all claiming he was torn from them by the tsunami.

One man standing outside the nursery at Kalmunai Base Hospital earlier this week threatened to kill himself and his wife if they are not given the baby. A woman at the hospital said she would kill the doctors unless she gets him.

4. RCMP has

several forensic pathologists on site. These guys are from the group that worked on the "Picton pig farm". They know what they are doing. They will be able to figure it out. The Mounties always get their man. Sorry, not trying to be facetious.

Hopefully those left alive will be able to form new families out of the survivors.
