Talk:Child abandonment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think we need to make a distinction here with the increasingly-common practice of societal encouragement of new mothers to "abandon" their infants at hospitals, firehouses, etc., instead of throwing them into dumpsters and trash cans. -- Zoe

Agreed.

removing bizarre sentence in this context ( "It is hoped she will be able and willing to resume taking care of him.")

Is it bizarre because she should obviously not be allowed to do so, or because you can not imagine that she would change her mind, or because the prison term has obviously taught her to be able and willing again? - Patrick 17:22 Jan 14, 2003 (UTC)
