It probably does. If she's been living in a motel room with her two older children for a year, and she just had a child she was in denial about (now that's possible for a 42 year old), it must have been weird living circumstances. I'm guessing subsidized.
The state has the law where a mother can leave off an infant, no questions asked. Because of horrible abuse situations in MA the laws for taking a child are pretty strong...they can.
The best situation for the child might be early loss of custody and an excellent foster home. But who knows? Maybe the woman just really didn't want to deliver on the MBTA, and thought her best bet was to get to a Boston hospital by train. (Shock?)
I just pray that this child with a unique start on life has an excellent life.
About 90 seconds later, Chin said, "I saw a head, then full baby fall out from her skirt, hit the floor sideways and slide the length of the doorway, stopping when he bumped up against the next row of seats. Still she stared out the window. Either she didn't know it happened or didn't want to acknowledge it."
Do you think she could care for the child on her own? She wouldn't even allow anyone to ascertain the child was breathing.
