“Gun Death” Unwanting Mother

I actually went to high school with a girl who did something very similar:

Louisville, Kentucky, police say a woman gave birth in the bathroom of the Kohl’s clothing store where she worked, then left the newborn girl in a trash can where another worker later found the child dead.

Thankfully with my former classmate’s baby was discovered before any lasting harm was done, but a young baby in a cold toilet filled with water doesn’t stand long for this world. The court actually charged her with assault with a dangerous weapon, where the weapon was the toilet and toilet paper used to conceal him.

Thankfully that baby was not only saved, but put into foster care rather than being returned to ANY of his immediate family. I am so sad for this baby, there are so many who would LOVE an unwanted baby no matter what the circumstances.

But why am I upset? This isn’t a “Gun Death”! Only “Gun Death” counts, right?
