I almost feel like apologizing for this story because it's so sad . . . and horrible at the same time. Someone went to a park in Chicago yesterday, presumably to enjoy being in the out of doors. They ended up finding a toddler's floating foot in the pond. They sensibly called the police, who went on to find another foot and a hand from a small child—all badly decomposed.
RIP tiny one, sorry this world was too brutal for you to survive.

Dozens of police officers were searching a lagoon on Chicago's West Side on Sunday where a toddler's decomposed feet and hand were found.
The search began after a person called 911 on Saturday afternoon to report seeing what turned out to be a toddler's left foot floating in the Garfield Park lagoon. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said officers subsequently discovered a right foot and a hand in the lagoon about 25 yards away. The remains were badly decomposed, he said.
Guglielmi said that as of late Sunday morning, the department's marine unit and divers hadn't found any additional body parts. He said other items of interest were found, but he declined to go into detail. He also said that depending on what searchers find, the lagoon might be drained to make sure there are no more remains in it.
Officers could be seen wading through cattail reeds and waist-high water on Sunday, feeling the bottom with their hands. Elsewhere, an officer was walking the perimeter of the lagoon and picking up items to put in a paper bag.
Investigators haven't determined the child's identity or how the child died, Guglielmi said. He said detectives were going through Chicago-area missing persons cases to determine if there could be a link to the remains.
