[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I read that the baby was abandoned on a doorstep, it makes me think that the mother at least tried to put the baby somewhere she thought would be safe. Maybe she thought the baby would cry and someone would open the door. If she didn't care if the baby died, why not toss it in a trash can?

It's clear that the mother (or whomever left the baby) made the wrong choice, but based on where the cold was left, I don't think the idea was to let her die. [/quote]

On the one hand the baby was left at the street gate, not at the door. On the other hand you have a good point, if the aim was certain death, throwing a baby in the trash can would have made more sense.

I saw the men interviewed on tv (the one who found her and the one who owned the house). The man who owned the house said he has young children and he is very sad he didn't see her, that they would have taken her in. I can't imagine the guilt I would feel knowing a baby died at my front steps. If only I had gone outside...[/quote]
