Elsa was found wrapped in a towel in a reusable shopping bag on January 18 last year, at the junction of Greenway and High Street South in East Ham, east London.
At a hearing earlier in February, East London Family Court was told that Elsa had taken her first steps and was “developing well”, which Judge Carol Atkinson said was “astonishing”.
The third of three siblings abandoned in London over seven years has taken her first steps, about a year after she was found in a shopping bag in freezing temperatures, a family court has been told.
On the first anniversary of Elsa’s discovery earlier this year, the independent group Crimestoppers offered a £20,000 reward for information passed to the charity, which will expire on April 18.
The girl, known as Elsa, was believed to be less than an hour old when she was found by a dog walker in east London in January last year.
