It says she’s Mexican where? Beyond that you are right, it is sad. She could have dropped the baby off any number of places. But it seems to me, in Houston at least, when someone drops a baby of there is this big media blitz to find the “mother” and get her story....perhaps reunited them and give them proper counseling. It’s bs.
Really they should charge her according to her crime: attempted murder. If the baby dies... capital murder.
Yes, it does appear to be a case of an "anchor baby."
