baby abandoned in hospital

i ownt also, if i have the planned why wait when till they born. having them and guving birth to them os not ordinary thing in this world. if she abandoned her baby they hse had mental disorder. hope she have conscience.

I think, this not good and immoral on the part of mother to abandon her child and that too an infant baby. For a new born baby, the only one to depend upon in this whole world is his/her mother and it can not be worse than this for a new born bay. But there could be some serious trouble with the mother also. Because no mother in the world can abandon her new born child so easily. So police should find out the real reason behind this event and then only the further course of action can be decided.

Why press charges? That just makes people like her abandon their babies in places where they are not safe at all and they die. Can't imagine she'd be as good a parent as someone who'd adopt the baby so sounds like she gave up her right to be a mom to this one.

In the US they have a safe haven law I think it is, where any women or girl who has a baby and they don't want it can drop it off at a hospital. There are no consequences as far as being arrested for child abandonment or anything like that. I think they can leave them at a police station as well or or somewhere safe like that.

If she is a mental case then i can understand to why they won't press charges. But if she is perfectly sane then why the hell not? This is an innocent baby where talking about she should face the consequences like everyone else. these kinds of things are happening to often, if they let her go then everyone will think they have the right to abandon their baby at a hospital. Once it's a safe place please... What is the world coming too.

I feel soo bad about hearing things like this happening all the time but @ least the baby was safe. Lots of the new moms that kill there unwanted babies should not be given the chance again to get PG. Same thing for the ones who get abortions because of convenience to get the baby outta the way! I sometimes think of my life maybe it I was a PG teenager like some of my friends then I'd have a few kids by now! God's most precious gift is given to those who don't want it but then those like me who really love kids don't have any yet! Everyone says I'd be a great mom but the timing is never right! I wish there was a way to find out about anyone who didn't want there baby before they harmed them. They should be taught alot more of this in school. The poor innocent baby is basically abandoned. I think there should be someone who knows if a friend of there's is PG & help look after them if they want to keep it a secret from others but still go see a Dr. then decide how they'd raise that child. Sometimes I have seen the new mom not want the baby but the new dad who never knew about the baby he wanted to be responsible for it & help raise it but was never given the chance since the new mom thought it was her only choice having nothing to do w/him which is totally wrong since it took 2 to get PG the new mom didn't do it on her own. It should be the decision of both!

She may be overwhelmed with the htought of a new baby and not have a place for it. she might be living out of her car or there might be other circumstances involved. I do hope she comes forward. Maybe it is depression that sometimes happens after a birth. She will go to jail for abandonment if they find her and she doens't come forward on her own. She be better off coming forward so she won't be charged and can see a Doctor to see if she is okay. If she doesn't I do hope they find the newborn a good home and that the baby is okay and healthy.

I could never leave my children. I'm sure it was very hard for her to leave her baby.At least she took care of her baby by handing him/her over to safe hands. Heck no she should not be punished in anyway! I pray she ok.

At least she left in the hospital where it will be taken care of. I don't think they should press charges on the mother, because they don't know what situation she's in. Maybe she can't afford to keep the child, or has another reason. If she comes back on her own with an explanation about why she left she baby, she should get the child back. Otherwise, I don't think they should look for her.

This is sad for the baby...I will of course can't afford to do that..But, at least she didn't kill or abort the child. But, anyway, she still needs to be given proper sanction for doing so, how if she will do it repeatedly! If people are not ready to have kids, I wish they will be responsible enough to do anything just to avoid being pregnant!

Yes, I think the police are correct for not pressing charges. After all, it is like you said, the mother left the baby in a safe place. I remember hearing on the TV a few years ago there are now places to drop off an unwanted baby (who couldn't want a baby is beyond me, but sadly it does happen) at least here in the US, such as a hospital, and it can even be done unanimously. Apparently there were (and possibly still are) way too many babies being abandoned before this came into play. And since this new mother didn't just throw the baby away to let it die then she should not be charged. Plus, heaven forbid, maybe something terrible happened to this mother and that is why she didn't come back. Any way you look at it, it is sad, but at least the baby is alive.

Hi, I personally think the mother did the right thing. If she couldn't take care of the baby or didn't want the baby, taking it to the hospital was a good thing. It is so much better than dumping the baby somewhere where it might be sick or even die like others have done. In our city, if a baby is dropped off at a hospital or a fire station, no charges will be filed. This is a good thing for the mother, baby and future adoptive parents. The mother feels safe to give up her baby with no charges ever being filed, the baby is alive and well and can be given to parents who will love it. Have a great day! Char :-)

very sad to read this story. i think if the mom have no ability to raise the baby, she should not bring the baby to the world. otherwise, the baby might suffer quite a lot of difficulties in the future, even though there is still possible that some kind people will raise him. but after he knows the story, how could he feel? must be very sad.

I think the police are right in not pressing charges as well. I mean, leaving them at an airport is much, much better than leaving them in a dumpster or alleyway and the such. I know many of us would not abandon a child, but maybe she couldn't raise it. There might have been financial problems and the such. I just wished that she could sent the child to adoption rather than just leaving the child in the hands of a airport attendant though.

All that goes throgh my mind when i read something like this is what kind of hell was that poor woman going throgh when she left her child? I am sure it could not be good blessed be

I could never abandon my children. I think the police is correct in not pressing charges in this case. If they did, it would stop other women that wanted to give up their child, for fear of going to jail. If the woman does come back, she should be seen by a doctor right away. Then given the chance if she wants to, keep her baby. This should also be given if she doesn't step forward, but is found out. She brought the baby to a safe place and not left him/her outside in the heat to die.

If the girl is not able to take care of the baby then I think she did the right thing leaving the baby in the hospital, I just think she went about it the wrong way. I know they are telling people to leave them in a safe place instead of trying to flush them or putting them in trash bags and they will not be in trouble for leaving them. I do think one bad thing about leaving the baby like that is they will have no idea about medical family background. I wonder how old this young mother is and if she was hiding her pregnancy.

Good for this young mother doing the right thing! Yes, the police are perfectly right for not pressing charges. This mother cared enough not to throw the baby away like trash.

Aww, that is a sad story ! I wonder what would make a mother do something like that . It is a lot better than what some people have done with a kid , because they didnt want it . For now maybe it is for the best .

I don't think that anything should happen to the mother because she did leave her child in a safe place. If she left the child on the street somewhere then it would be a different story. I think that only a sad situation could make a mother want to abandon her baby, and if she felt like she really couldn't care for the child perhaps she made the correct choice.
