So, you can drop off your newborn (TWICE!!) in a fast food place, yet not be responsible for your own actions. Hmmm, this is getting to be a problem. No one seems to be accountable for anything they do anymore. This woman needs more than help, she needs permanent birth control, and a trip to women's pen for a few months. Bet she doesn't leave her child anywhere again after that. Plus, not a very good way to deter other young women from doing the same, although 99.9% of women DON'T LEAVE THEIR KIDS BEHIND A TOILET IN A MICKEY D'S after giving birth to them!!!!

Longshanks- She didn't drop anyone off twice at a fast food restaurant. And you're right, 99.9% of women don't leave them in a McDonalds bathroom...some opt for dumpsters, wooded areas, rivers or ponds. At least this baby was left someplace warm. I'm not defending what happened, but lets look at the facts here.

I think its time that we all take a step back and let the courts battle this out. I am sure that none of you here know the mother or what she may be/have been going through. Sure, its easy to sit back and say "I would have never done that" from behind a computer screen, but we NEVER truely know what we will do until we are placed in a situation.

FYI the media has botched the story all to hell in regards to the twins. My only question is this: If she followed the safe surrender law and "all is forgiven" then why is it an issue now?

Common Sense people, common sense! Did she really think that someone would actually find this baby? There are other options! As cold as the restrooms are in these fast food restaurants. She had to know that this baby would DIE!! If you are giving birth, go to the hospital! There are not many people qualified in Advanced Life Support who work at McDonalds if any! Some may be customers.

Bond reduced? Heck she will be able to pay the original bond after the charges are dropped and she writes the million dollar book that is just waiting to be written.
