[quote=iluvmeconspiracy][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=iluvmeconspiracy][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a "safe space" sign on the firehouse near me, but when I went there on another matter, the door was locked and no one ever answered the bell or my knocking. I had to walk around the building, through the garage, and peek into two offices before I found people in the 3rd one. I get the impression that even the public safety personnel don't take it seriously.

Poor little angel. I can only say that she suffered less than she would have if she had survived and stayed with the horrible "mother". [/quote]

Horrible?  She was probably a terrified teen-ager who may have delivered her own baby.  For all we know this child was the result of a rape and she was also suffering from that trauma.  Let's stop the name calling until you have the facts.[/quote]

Even a teenager who was raped and delivered her own child is a horrible mother if she leaves the child outside in freezing weather to die.  It doesn't mean that she didn't experience horrible things herself.  But leaving a baby to die in the freezing cold makes you a horrible mother. [/quote]

It's rare to find a teen who DOES make a good mother.  Of the ones I know, THEIR mothers are raising their children.  You have no idea what has happened to the person who delivered this baby.  And I bet that had YOUR daughter been in this mess, you would have given every excuse in the book to protect her.  [/quote]

[b]But would you be so ready to put your teen-age daughter in prison for 30-life?[/b]

I think there are definetly some good teenage mothers, but there is a world of difference between your average teenage mother and this sort of horror of a mother.

If my teenage daughter left my grandchild out in the freezing cold to die I would be beyond horrified/angry/distraught/etc. [/quote][/quote]

That's the million dollar question for this scenario.  I doubt many parents could go that far.

And while there may be "good" teenage moms, the good ones have family support, which doesn't mean enabling.  Usually, teen moms give birth to teen moms, and the cycle continues.  Sadly, abuse may be part of the cycle - physical, emotional, sexual.  A child's life is ruined at that point.  So what empathy can she possibly have left?
