Discarded babies

Just another symptom of an ailing society. Disposable diapers, disposable kids. So very tragic and sad.

a young mother here in philadelphia stabbed her toddler two or three times with a steak knife and left her in the snow. THe baby is alive, and there has been an outpouring of support for the child, hunreds of people want to give her money, and a home. So, when you feel sick to your stomache about something so horrendous try to remember, for every one sicko there are hundreds of good people. However hard it is to think that when you hear these stories. There are so many wonderful people who want a baby so badly, and can't have one and these monsters have them and do such horrible things. Its so unfair.

If there is one thing I have learned in my job, it's that maternal instincts are not as natural or ingrained as we would like to think. It is incredibly sad, especially when you consider that all a mother has to do is leave a baby at a hospital, a church, wherever and it would be taken care of.

The mother was probably insane.

If she wasn't; if she was just a garden variety psychopath she would have had an abortion long before it was born--or just before it was born.

Do you mean you would think she was a "garden variety psychopath" if she had an abortion (rather than giving birth and leaving the infant to die)?

i wish i could describe the anger that is going through my veins toward this "mother" (and i use that term lightly ).

i will never understand.. why??? there are loving, caring people out there who have tried for years to have a child and they can't, or their children die. i just do not understand why people who apparently have no business what so ever having a baby-get too?! we see it on the news all the time about these people who are throwing away or killing their children...i just do not understand why they get to have a child, a precious gift, that they do not appreciate and those of us who deserve a baby...go through hell and back to have the family we have dreamed about for so long.

It truly makes me nauseous to think that people are actually capable of doing horrendous things like this. It true, I agree---it is very unfair that so many wonderful and gifted families/couples want to have children but cannot, yet idiots (and other words I will refrain from using) pop out kids like its nothing and then do things like this...it truly makes me bitterly angry and horribly sad...

:angryfire

I too wonder how someone could do such a thing.

Here in our state anyone can drop a baby off at the local hospital and not have to answer any questions. Is it that way in your state?

Just last month there was a stillborn baby found in a dumpster here. And last year there was another baby found along side the road. My heart goes out to these children.. At least they will not have to grow up in this cruel world.

I will never be able to understand someone's reason for doing such an awful thing as throwing away a life...a baby...a child...any life. I can't judge those who do things like this because I am not here to judge them. God is the One and Only True Judge of life, and He knows why these things happen, even when we don't. To us it is cruel, but far beyond our human vision and understanding lies a much deeper meaning to life that we cannot possibly begin to fathom. Since I believe life exist after death, that baby is far better off with God than if the baby had been left on earth. Saying all this still angers me though for I love children very much, and would gladly take in any baby that is not wanted.

What???? DO I need to put on eyeglasses, surely I misunderstand here???? IF not, this is a disgraceful statement. this says to me, a person who has an abortion is a garden-variety psychopath. Please tell me I am wrong?
