Baby Theunsie: A baby boy saved from heroin-addicted parents
In this episode of Good Morning Angels: The Legacy, we follow up with Baby Theunsie, who is now a happy, healthy toddler after being saved from his birth parents, who were heroin addicts.
We met Anita and her baby, Theunsie, in December 2022. He weighed just 1.8 kg when a social worker handed the tiny bundle to Anita, a nurse and foster mom to two other children.
After three months, Theunsie experienced withdrawal—his mother and father were heroin addicts. Then, one day, he stopped breathing.
