MIAMI (AP) - A newborn boy is safe after being found in a trash
bin in Miami.
Authorities say the child was apparently only an hour or so old.
He was found in a trash bin Monday night when a janitor taking out
the trash heard the baby crying. The boy's umbilical cord was still
attached.
The child appeared to be healthy but was taken to a hospital to
be monitored.
Florida's Safe Haven law was passed in 2000 in response to a
rash of babies left to die in canals and trash bins. The law allows
a parent to surrender a newborn, no questions asked, to any
hospital emergency room, open fire station or other facility
capable of providing emergency care.

The sad part of this is it will probably end up being a teenager who didn’t want to tell her parents she was pregnant, so she thought she would just dispose of the baby and no one would ever know.  I am so sick of hearing about these poor innocent children being left for dead, like they are pieces of trash. I hope that the press coverage of this will make the mother have some feeling of guilt or someone will come forward and tell who did this terrible act. Maybe this child will have a chance in this world now that its good for nothing mother is out of its life.

cm,
that’s the truth.  but when they find the parents, they won’t do them anything.  they need to start getting these drug dealers off the street and a lot of this will stop.

Too many people out there would have taken the baby…why do people do this

Here we go again! Whats wrong with these women? There are millions of options out there..I know several people that can’t have children nor really afford to go through an adoption agency, since thats a long and costly process. Give it away, leave it in a shopping center parking lot.  But don’t throw it away like its trash for goodness sakes!!!!! Dumping it will find yourself in jail for a long time if they catch you where giving it away would be more pleasurable.  Who could live with themself knowing they did that anyway?
