Infants up to 3 days only accepted. Is this a solution?

Not everyone has family and friends to help out. I think in situations like that society needs to step in and help the mom out. I myself have gotten frustrated beyond belief at my oldest son, and even (only for a moment) thought about military school or other such things, because I get to my wits end on a daily basis. Of course I'd never abandon him, but sometimes having some help would be nice, I just don't have the family or friends to help me.

Hi Barb and Katesmeow, I agree, sometimes family member and friend lending a helping hand for the day can make a difference. I sure wish the officials will rethink the three day rule because infants are very young and need lots of care. I am too afraid to think what will happen to these babies if their parents decide they ware not ready for a baby, and it is passed three days.

I hope there is a happy ending for this child. I mean she is almost an adult, and if indeed they could not afford to feed her and shelter her, there are services available out there to help families in need too. At least I hope, there is such services. There is so much going on in this world that sometimes it amazes me what I hear and it breaks my heart When I hear them about children in particular. A child should never have to endure such pain and humiliation regardless of what they did or how much it cost to raise one.

I also hope that this child receives a happy ending. You do bring up a good point about there being help out there and some of the crazy stuff people do. I agree that a child should not have to endure that kind of hurt. I guess I am just hoping there is a real reason behind it and not just another crazy lazy parent doing something stupid to hurt their child.

It is sad, and heartbreaking when you hear about teens also being abandon. I don't understand how a parent can do this to their child and then drive home like dropping off a book at the library. This is very sad.
