I feel cold after watching the news in a local television, another case of child abuse. A 15 years old mother throw his newly born from a taxi's window. The baby is now in the hospital and is alive after she was picked by people nearby. The mother is now in the custody of social worker and is undergoing psychiatric guidance. she told the authorities that she never know she is pregnant until the baby came and is afraid on what to do. What is happening to our children? where are the parents or guardians? how she is being taught about the value of life? these are the questions i came into mind.
On the same day, a newly born was thrown from a building and landed on the roof of a school building. Unfortunately, the baby died and the police is still looking for the culprit. Nowadays, it is but common to hear child abuses everywhere and wonder does these people already lost their faith in God? How they can afford to do such a crime in a predominantly Christian country.

I don't get it,now adays they have so many places thy can bring their babies and drop them off.There is no need to harm the baby just because you can't or don't want to car for it.How is it a 15 year old didn't know she was pregnant? I seriously doubt she is telling the truth.I hope this baby survives and is immediately put up for adoption there is many people who would love to have a baby to raise.Unfortunately they will waste years of this babies life trying to reunify with a mom don't want her.What a world we live in.

Sadly, this is not a new phenomenon. I remember when I was pregnant with my oldest, a 15 year old girl had thrown her baby in an incinerator because she wanted to go to a party.

Hi there spyjob! I am sad after reading this story and to think, there are many cases happening similar to this or more worst...They are just like throwing a garbage! I do know if it is possible to solve this problems if the parents itself were not a good model to their kids!

What! Oh gosh, a fifteen year old , that is still a child herself.
Of course, I should not judge becuase I was a young mother too.
but the difference I did not have the courage or strength to do that to my child.
The parents of this 15 yrs old, how can they not know their daughter was pregnant?

It is truly aweful. There are so many loving people who want babies who can not have them, and these teenagers have them and try to kill them. It is really aweful. I don't know why teenagers are not better educated about their options if they do get pregnant.

I don't understand that either, recently a family member of mine (through marriage) was arrested for child abuse her child was 10 months old, she beat him and put him in ICU this child was my image of the perfect baby, how she done it is beyond me but now that poor child will never have a normal life thanks to her. He will never walk, never talk, never crawl, never do anything that normal children do, he will be lucky to live the next 5 yrs of his life. And now her 19yrs old will b in jail the rest of her life... she never seemed to be the type that would do that.. I could never do something so cruel to a child much less anyone at all.... what pocesses them to do these things?

How sad...I really can't understand how some people could be so rude with their own children. I hate to hear news like that, although I am aware that it is a reality in this harsh world.

Such a tragic story done by its own blood. I hope authorities will do the right thing not to give back the baby to her mother.

Here in the States there are called "safe places" like hospitals, police stations, fire stations etc where you can bring your baby, hand it to a person and say you don't want it, and they will not ask you any questions. It was supposed to help cut down on crimes like this.
Unfortunatly there are still crimes taking place because these young girls are uneducated and irresponsible and immature. It is very sad, and I wish something could be done to stop these girls from getting pregnant so young.
If the parents won't raise their kids right to have values, then someone needs to.

Oh my! That is so rude and brutal! I can't imagine that there are people like that but it exist still. They will not be blessed for doing that hope they will think before doing an act first. These things are rampant nowadays so all we could help is to pray for us all.

I don't understand it!!!! What happened to leaving babies on doorsteps, at least they were found, alive and had a chance!!! I think the message should be spread to teens that if you don't want them just call the police and let them know!!!! I know they have the law that if you take the baby to a hospital or police/fire station you can drop off, no questions asked. Obviously the message isn't getting out there!!!!!

My response is how can you not know your pregnant. Everytime i was pregnant i could feel the baby move around. In my mind she was just another reckless teen that new but was afraid to tell anyone. Hopefully she wont get the baby back and it will go to a good home where it will be loved.

it is really a thing to worry all over the world. what is going on with today's children. they are either killing people, taking part in violence or getting pregnant with a drop of pin. i also do not know what the parents are doing too?there should be socvial awareness.

Oh dear, this is really gross! The mother must be really sick to do such thing to her baby. I'm glad that the baby is alright. I hope the social workers will not return the baby to her mother anymore. We don't realy know what she might do next to her baby.
