Teen mum throws baby in dumpster

Fey, the law already provides for the dropper offer to remain anonymous. Info can be requested, name etc., but is not required to be answered.

Yes, women can remain anonymous, but I think the problem is they don't want to show their faces due to shame when they get rid of their child.
 
I cannot imagine what you must have gone through win231 to experience that. Experiencing such an incident I think would have affected my whole life. How does one forget that?
 

And she claims she didn't know she was pregnant and once she realized it she tried to hide it from the boyfriend. Excuse abuse.

The pathetic part is a few years from now she'll probably be suing for parental rights of somekind after the baby is taken away from her.
 
Another song - same topic. Recorded by Pat Benatar
They cry in the dark
So you can't see their tears
They hide in the light
So you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget
All the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because hell, hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh
It's all so confusing this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell from the swing
Because hell, hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh
No, hell is for children

There have been women & girls unaware of their pregnancies until labor. My MIL was one of them, not for my husband but for one of his younger sisters. And she already had lots of kids, but yet did not know.

Is it a foregone conclusion teen mom will lose custody? Not necessarily at all.

If it was a safe haven abandonment or other such measure, maybe, but she will not regain custody of a baby she attempted to murder.

I worked in foster care. I've seen worse happen, where kids actually died. She panicked, temporary insanity; maybe with counseling and what if the father wants the baby? Or the grandparents? This may not be over.

Oh sure, other family members can Petition for Guardianship etc., but her, no!
 
It is a sad state of affairs and I am sure covid just made it a whole lot worse. Then the pope is telling us how selfish we are to adopt animals rather than having children. So many people, not fit to be parents, not fit to have pets. Thank God for the people trying to make life better for us all.
Thinking about this mum, what sort of help will she get? if any.

"Help" is not what she needs.
 
Over the past few decades, this has happened more often than one can believe. The first case I heard of was when a girl had her baby at a school dance and left it in the toilet !! The cold hearted, callousness of these acts are mind blowing. I know these teens must be scared and maybe confused but good grief ! Then one has to wonder, were there no support systems available? Ultimately, though, let the punishment fit the crime.

Reminds me of a woman who had 3 kids & wanted to date a co-worker, but he said he didn't want a woman with kids. So she tried to kill all of her kids by shooting them. Her 3 year old was permanently paralyzed & her 7 year old daughter died.

That is why Susan Smith murdered her two precious little boys. Even while married she wished a relationship with a man with bucks. He said he did not want kids! Well, she eliminated the obstacles!

What would Help most young people now days is a HUGE dose of reality........... which is what I am sure she is going through right Now.

Schools have had sex education for decades yet all these girls say I did not know or i had no Idea ....
No one noticed any signs weight gain or even change on gait of pregnancy .... Too many young people think of kids as accessories .... disposable if things change.

Because as a society we allow being stupid or more accurately PLAYING stupid as an excuse .....
go anywhere like a government agency and listen DMV is great ...... NO one knows they were supposed to do this or that .... They did not renew cause they forgot so they do not think they should get tickets etc.
The stories are hilarious .....i know many of these folks are not as SIMPLE as they are trying to appear but they know they can catch a break if the pull it off.

I see it all over .... "i did not know that .... how was i suppose to know" ..... gets many a do-over / slap on wrist / warning only...

Thanks for the link.
But still interesting that two officials in one NM town would like to make it more anonymous.
Thing is in a lot of NM towns, people might know exactly who someone is even if they don't agree to 'give' info. We have many towns of under 1,000 people

One can only guess what goes through the mind of a person in this situation but
seriously if they worry about a small town finding out they do not know what is coming down the road... her dealing with it

how many people have big problems in life .........trying to cover up / hide or just not mentally accept it and keeping secrets takes a toll
they know it and will always know it ..... maybe a person will show up to ask why that would be harder to deal with then the nosy lady in town.

To me the big upside of making it as anonymous as possible is some reduction of incidents like this one. Of course there are other options, but really not up for that debate at the moment.
