Newborn baby found in Christmas manger

I hope the mother is found and arrested for leaving her new born baby to dies ! What if no one heard the poor baby crying.
 
Churches are safe havens for mothers who want to leave their babies. Perhaps the mother made sure someone would be there to find the baby. She may have been close by just in case.

Would you rather she put the baby in a dumpster? That has happened, you know.

I'm glad she chose to have the baby, not an abortion, and that she chose to put the baby where she felt it would be safe.

If we didn't have safe havens for dropping off unwanted babies, much more would be dying in dumpsters, bushes by the side of the road, etc.

Yes, and where she put it, was sure to be found.

The only mistake this mother made was she left baby alone. According to the article, under the safe haven law, they are supposed to give the baby to person in church or other places, not leave them alone to be found. If she would have given the baby herself, she would have been left alone.

Since she left baby alone to be found, that is why they are looking for the mother.

Hospitals welcome baby drop offs, just for that very reason.

Yes, they are also safe havens. And the police (though I'm sure most would be scared to drop off there for fear of being arrested).
 
The woman was desperate imagine giving birth umbilical cord attached I more concerned for her welfare.She left baby in best place and I for one be horrified if she was arrested.My heat go out for poor mother.
The mother could come from strict religious Muslim Christian and her life could been in jeperdy by family, she could been 12yr old child a homeless woman,or very sick girl with that psychosis.
I know here there be great concern for mother and if possible help would been given to keep mother and child together....this baby may been result of rape incest and horrors I not want think about.
Civerlized world do not hang draw and quarter a woman/child for this.....got to disagree with you wdys on this one

And I got to disagree with you on this one ! What if something had
happen and the custodian wasn't able to return to the church the baby could had been left alone a lot longer. If the mother need help she will be able to get , the baby is completely helpless which is why he was to be given to a person not just left behind to dies . Yes we don't know how old the mother is or how she became pregnant but two wrongs don't made a right! This is why the police is looking for the mother.


"New York has a so-called safe haven law that says a newborn can be dropped off anonymously at a church, hospital, police or fire station without fear of prosecution. But the law, known as the Abandoned Infant Protection Act, requires that the child be left with someone or for authorities to be called immediately. Police said that didn't happen in this case, which has led investigators to begin searching for the person who dropped the child at the church."

In deciding not to bring charges, Brown said the mother followed the spirit of the Safe Haven law.


"It appears that the mother, in this case, felt her newborn child would be found safely in the church and chose to place the baby in the manger because it was the warmest place in the church, and further she returned the following morning to make certain that the baby had been found," Brown said.

There has not been any follow up on this story on the news . I know the police were trying to find the mother and if they do they'll her bring in to get medical attention . I know there are girls that can't go to their parents from help, we don't how old the mother is . The police are most likely checking hospitals ER out to see if any woman came in for help . I agree people don't always agree on everything and I am fine with that .
 
Helping out with the update on the story. :)

The mother returned the next morning , that is a long time to wait to see if her new born baby been found . She could had called to let people know she had left her new born baby at the church . It's sad that a pregnant woman or girl is not able to get the help they need to made sure both mother and baby are OK.

If people want to talk about this you could PM one another , this is about a baby that been given up by his mother. This had to been a very difficult thing for the mother to do and around the holidays too. :(
