I have had to train my brain to react differently to stories like this one...that this child has been blessed and saved today by the Lord God. As much as it hurts me to read about children who are treated better than week-old garbage, I am left praising Him for His goodness. And though it is hurting this precious child of God right now, she is with people who will not leave her crying on another street corner. Who knows right now, but we maybe are seeing what we always pray for when we hear of another child beaten to death by the hands of a parent. Maybe...just maybe, this little sweetie was pushed out of the car in a moment of her parent's sanity.
There's that.
There is also all those pretty beads in her hair.That takes hours to do. Somebody cared for her.
And while I am just as apt as the next FReeper to jump to conclusions, as of right now, we have no idea who pushed her out of that car, and why.
While the search is ongoing for her family, we can at least be thankful she is alive.
I think you may be right. The child was abandoned by people who did not care about her. Now, at least she is in a safe place and will be cared for.
I hope perhaps a grandparent who actually loves her will come forward and take her home.
I don't have much in the way of good thoughts about foster care--too many horror stories there, too.
