So why didn't she leave the baby at a safe haven?
Something about the woman makes me think she might not be the mother, but maybe a grandmother. She looks like she might be in her 40s or 50s.
I was thinking that too. I also wonder if this woman is American. I don’t think she is and I don’t think she knows of safe haven laws.
At least she left it in a public area where it would be found and not a dumpster or ally.
Going after her will only make future women choose the later.
The kid is okay and a new family will get a great blessing. Prosecuting the mother is counter productive to more important priorities.
The child is likely better off without such a mother.
The baby girl, described as a newborn, was left unattended by her mother, described as a woman.
Amen!
