I cannot decide if the article I just read makes me more sad or more angry. A teenage girl abandoned her child in the bathroom trash bin of a hospital. As of the last update, the baby was on life support due to low oxygen, low blood pressure, and brain damage. Her justification for this is that she did not want her mother to find out.
How could this happen? How is it possible that even IN a hospital children are not safe? There must have been signs posted in the hospital stating that it was a Safe Haven. She apparently had no idea what they meant and that she could have delivered her baby anonymously in a safe environment. What else can be done to make sure young girls are getting this information?
