On the one hand I'm glad that they are making an effort to save the babies. On the other I think that these parents should be charged with abandonment. As a parent you have a responsibility to see that your child is taken care of. Dumping a child on the government does not accomplish that.

In addition to imposing a jail sentence, the judge ordered Joanne De La Cruz to do 500 hours of community service, which requires her to put "Don't Throw Your Baby Away" stickers on trash dumpsters in her community. Oh...community service. Some punishment.

Mark Arsenault, who runs Waste Management's operation in Santa Cruz, told the Santa Cruz Sentinel, "If we get to the point where we have to advertise to our public telling them not to throw babies in Dumpsters, then I think we've reached the lowest point we can get to as a society."Bingo!

Am I missing something here? She kills her baby and gets 500 hours community service?

So the judge ordered the woman to put stickers on someone else's private property? If I owned that trash company, I sure as hell wouldn't allow it. The judge should be brought up on charges of encouraging defacement of private property.

"If we get to the point where we have to advertise to our public telling them not to throw babies in Dumpsters, then I think we've reached the lowest point we can get to as a society." Unfortunately Mark, you are correct. Obviously, we have reached that point.

"Don't throw your baby away - trash your Senators instead."
