Terrible.

Perhaps a very scared teenager who was hiding the pregnancy from her parents?

A bunch of teenagers found it, eh? Just a few hours after it was born? I'll bet it's one of their friends' kids.

Its a simple case of denial. Imo

i swear i hate these stories. All the ppl in the world who cant have kids, and kids having kids and then dumping them to die...sad indeed sad

And then lets not forget the poor baby who didnt ask to be born left in a dumpster in the cold for no good reason at all. atleast she survived

Why don't these people have abortions, for crying out loud?? If you believe abortion is murder, you probably also believe leaving a baby in a dumpster is murder. So why not skip the pregnancy?

I was just thinking similarly. I think an abortion is far more humane than leaving an infant to die in a dumpster.

I mentoned this in the previous post and I don't know how far this procedure goes. But in my area, anyone can leave a baby at a police or fire station with no questions asked. Walk in, hand it over, and walk out.

Ok, I am pro-life and personally against abortion, but I do agree with your comments (you and Alex, I mean). If you don't want the baby and you don't want to give her up for adoption, then #######?! Just have an abortion you sick **.

Kazan, I know in Louisiana there are similar laws, dubbed the Dumpster Baby Laws, that "protect" women who drop their babies off. No consequences. What is really sad is that we live in a society in which laws like these are necessary.

It just breaks my heart.

Abortion. That depends if she actually had the money to have it done. I don't think there is any free abortion shop in the US. If you don't have a job or are struggling to survive, $400 seems like an impossible amount to muster up in a short period of time. There are also time restraints. If she was in severe denial or didn't know period until it was too late for an elective abortion, then there that is.

However, I think we are asking her to act in a rational manner, when we know she gave birth to it god knows where with probably no help, put her kid in essentially a trash bag, and flung it into a dumpster. That doesn't scream 'capable of rational thought and decision' to me. I am not defending her, it is just messed up.

It's a throw-away society. If it isnt wanted, dump it or kill it.
