Dump Your Baby and Run.....

Link: Newborn Baby Found on Doorstep

Police said they were investigating the discovery of a baby wrapped in blankets on the doorstep of a Montgomery County home.
The discovery was made at 9:30 p.m. Thursday on the 1900 block of Guernsey Avenue in Abington Township.
Police are searching for the infant's parents.
The woman who found the child reported that she was walking her dog and, as she returned home, thought she heard cats fighting. She put the dog in her house and asked her husband to check on the noise.
The husband then discovered the baby wrapped in blankets on the doorstep of a nearby home.
Abington police responded and determined that the home's residents were not aware the baby was there and no one in the neighborhood knew where the baby came from or to whom he belonged.
Lauren, who declined to use her last name, said she has no idea whom the baby belonged to or why someone would leave a 2-day-old infant on her grandmother's front stoop.
"My first thought, I said, 'Oh, it's a baby. Oh my god,'" Lauren said. "I was like OK there has to be a note. So I find it and I read it aloud to everyone."
A note on the boy read, "Can you please take to the hospital. It's not that I dont love you I just can't take care of you I love you [sic]".
Investigators said they don't think the baby was born in a hospital. He was wrapped in blankets and is in good health despite being left in the cold Thursday night.
Police said the baby is a newborn black male and appears to be healthy despite the fact that he may have been outside in 34-degree weather for up to one hour.
"It was 34 degrees outside last night. That's cold for a newborn," Abington Police Chief John Livingood said.
Second Alarmers Rescue Squad of Willow Grove immediately transported the baby a half-block to Abington Memorial Hospital.
Police said they were bothered by the fact that the home the baby was left at is less than a block from Abington Hospital, which is also next to the police and fire departments.
"Had the mother brought this baby in to a police station and done so, we'd have taken the baby in, no questions asked," Livingood said.
Instead, police said they have a number of questions like who are the parents, who bought the baby's blue jumper, blanket and other items found with the baby.
"Someone knew this was going to be a boy, everything was blue, the baby had a blanket. This was no surprise delivery," Livingood said.
Anyone who might have information on the child is asked to call the Abington Police Department at 267-536-1110


That must be the new trend now. Instead of taking full advantage of a Safe Haven Law which allows you to drop off an unwanted infant at any police station, hospital or fire station, why not leave your baby on the step of a stranger in the freezing cold and then go on the run from the police!!

This royally pisses me off. Do you know how many people want children and cannot have them? Do you know how many people have mulitple miscarriages..? And then you have people like this who just dump their baby on a doorstep in the cold. I will give this person credit though, at least they did not put the baby in a trashbag or dumpster like other jerkoff parents.
