The above is not a fairy tale it is a true story I heard.
We need to remember that this person could have had little or no choice, and when scared frightned young and being oppressed mistakes happen.

I'm not trying to go OT, I'm trying to contrast the indignation some have expressed over this child being dumped, when society, by and large, approves of other mothers doing just that with their babies by disposing of them
before they are born.
FWIW it breaks my heart to think of that poor little girl dumped under a bush. When I have a newborn here in my own house I can pick up and cuddle, I cannot imagine how someone could do such a thing to someone like her. But I have to believe that there is a very good reason indeed, and I hope they find the mother because she needs
help.
