Anyone here missing a baby?

[Songbird]

NEW YORK (AP) _ Officials say a newborn baby found abandoned in Queens is recovering from being left out in the cold and will be in foster care by Christmas.
The baby girl was only a few hours old on Monday when two teenage skateboarders heard her cries and discovered her on top of a garbage bin.
She was wrapped in a blanket and a paper bag and still had her umbilical cord attached.
The mother was nowhere to be found.
The baby spent five days in an intensive care unit at Elmhurst Hospital Center, but has been placed with a foster family in time for the holiday.
City child welfare officials say the girl will be offered for adoption if a parent does not come forward.

I would say it's unlikely the parent would come forward, simply because they'd likely be facing charges of some kind.

Very good of the 'boarders to do the right thing.

Sheesh. Merry Christmas. How some people can live with themselves is beyond me.

Anyone here missing a baby?

Great headline. I bet it would run in Trenton.

We had a run a few years back where authorities were finding dead babies in tupperware containers and the like in the trunks of teenage girls whose families were well off. Seriously, there were like three of them in a month. The girls were terrified to tell their families.

There's a law here that says if you abandon your baby at a hospital you won't be prosecuted. I think it's in a lot of states but I'm not sure it's federal yet.

Fire stations, too.

A lot of states will also let you leave them at places like fire houses, police stations and churches.

Most of these cases do seem to be scared teenage girls. It's just heartbreaking all around.

I'm glad this baby seems to be headed for a decent life.

See? The punks aren't all bad, people. Sure, we may wear studded belts and listen to fast music and have outlandish hairstyles, but we're good seeds, too.

How many of you would save a dying baby? ...

Oh. Everybody? Yeah, that's what I thought.



Seriously, though. I guess this is one situation where I'll never understand some people's thoughts. To do that to a living thing -- person or animal -- is beyond ****ing terrible. And yet it's become not quite a surprise when you read it in the paper or see it on the news.

i do think yawn would have asked the baby if s/he was a "lib" before offering help.

New York does in fact have a Baby Moses law.

"Whose baby?"
(Funniest moment in Bill Forsyth's "Local Hero.")
This movie here.

as the parent of a beautiful three-week old baby i have mixed feelings about this. i can't comprehend how anyone could abandon a newborn baby.

that said, the people who abandoned newborn babies at hospitals and fire stations are probably doing it a favor, kind of. not so much in the act of abandoning, but in the act of relinquishing parental responsibilities.

While parents were boozing it up ...

BAY SHORE, N.Y. (AP) -- Suffolk County police have arrested a Long Island woman and her boyfriend on charges of leaving an 18-month-old baby in a car while they went into a bar.
Investigators say a woman noticed the baby locked inside the car alone and called police.
Police arrived and found 19-year-old Ruth Campos and 21-year-old Chyan Gilbert inside a nearby bar.
Both are being held on charges of endangering the welfare of a child.
Investigators say the child was in the car for at least half an hour and doesn't appear to be injured.
The child's mother left the baby with Campos while visiting relatives in upstate New York.

I read the entire thing assuming it was their kid.

Jesus.

"Toilet Tisha"

[Andre3000]
Have you heard the news?
They say a little 14 year old little girl had a baby on the way
Too much for her little mind to bare
And that type of news to her mama she cannot spare

[Hook]
Toilet Tisha, damn we miss ya
Toilet Tisha is the issue
Damn we miss ya, Toilet Tisha
Damn we miss ya

[Vamp]
Don't go away
Don't you dare go away from me girl I can help you
Don't go away don't you dare leave me
Don't go away, away
Don't go away

[Big Boi]
Five thousand, one hundred ten days
Is a short period of time a mere fourteen years
On this precious mother earth, you see Tisha had issues
And her decision making skills were still in its early stages
You know what I'm talking about
Therefore she could not properly handle a blessing in which
She thought to be an obstacle in her path to adulthood
Pause, Just like a brother with a thousand pauses
Should I shouldn't I I cant I have to, mama will never see me the same
Daddy and Big Mama I know all of them gonna be ashamed of me
Are just a few thoughts racing through her cranium
As she sits on top of the pale, cold porcelain seat in the rear of the house
The unthinkable moments away from becoming reality, sadly with no clue
And no way of expressing her feeling to her mam or anybody else in her life
Tisha done came to the crossroads and now she got to choose
Fatality, fatality, fatality, fatality

Funk dat. Here's the real one:



Brenda's got a Baby
Brenda's got a Baby

I hear Brenda's got a baby
But, Brenda's barely got a brain
A damn shame
The girl can hardly spell her name
(That's not our problem, that's up to Brenda's family)
Well let me show ya how it affects the whole community
Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a
junkie
shootin' death into his arms, it's sad
Cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
Just cause you're in the ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow
But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation
Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch the joy end
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Went out and had a church of kids
As long as when the check came they got first dibs
Now Brenda's belly is gettin bigger
But no one seems to notice any change in her figure
She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
In love with a molester, who's sexin her crazy
And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever
And dreams of a world where the two of them are together,
whatever
He left her and she had the baby solo, she had it on the
bathroom floor
And didn't know so, she didn't know, what to throw away and
what to keep
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heap
I guess she thought she'd get away
Wouldn't hear the cries
She didn't realize
How much the little baby had her eyes
Now the baby's in tha trash heap bawling
Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Brenda wants to run away
Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, tha social worker's here
everyday
Now Brenda's gotta make her own way
Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
She tried to sell crack, but ended up getting robbed
So now what's next, there ain't nothin left to sell
So she sees sex as a way of leavin hell
It's payin the rent, so she really can't complain
Prostitute found slain, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby

Baaaaaaaaby
