Police are notorious for not handling situations with the respect it deserves. Leaving a baby in the middle of the hospital would of caused all the people in there who saw it to scream and run after her.

Cursing because I am angry at this situation?

All I am doing is trying to understand the situation from her perspective since she was probably not a baby killing agenda. “I just gave birth to a child I clearly did not want. I made sure to be quiet while giving birth to not alert housemates. I did not tell family about this probably because I am supposed to be the…

You can be pretty clueless in an emotional situation like this. Tell me if you can weigh out all your options clearly after giving birth to a child you clearly did not want and was trying to hide.

I never said it was the only answer or the only problem with situations like this?It’s just a small part of the much larger solution. If a single life could be saved with a drop off box then I don’t see the problem??

Hardly anyone; better public education needs to be made about this for sure.

lol yeah lets laugh at the dead baby lololololol

With putting the baby in the trash can it is only your shame; no one else has to know. Going to the police station means walking out the full sorority house with a baby (like that won’t go unnoticed) and then going to the police station and however many people there will now know.

You don’t have to be mentally ill to be fucking scared and terrified in a scary and terrifying situation and then make a horrific choice because your emotions were to 11.

Why are you against a drop off box? There is nothing wrong with a drop off box nearby a police station that is all I am suggesting.

I highly doubt the police would of handled this situation with the tact and sincerity that this situation deserves. She was in emotional distress from giving birth to begin with, probably not wanting to take a chance at going to the police and just hoping she met the nice understanding cop that day. She was able to…

I only mentioned the heat/ac thing because in previous discussions about drop off boxes I’ve seen people were concerned about the infants being exposed to the elements. And yeah, when you start critiquing grammar as a part of your post against me that means you don’t have anything else to go on.

While technically she would of been anonymous they would of pressured her to stay and to answer questions and her being in an already emotional situation she obviously wanted to avoid that drama and hope she could just avoid it all together.

There are places to surrender your child; but you have to actually meet a person to do this. This can be difficult since they will ask questions and probably pressure you to answer them and you’re in a very emotional state just giving birth and all. I think we need more drop off box locations to help prevent…

I don’t think it would of mattered of the other person was Jesus himself; the act of seeing someone in such a horrific situation is enough to drive people to make illogical decisions. There needs to be a way to leave face-to-face contact out of the equation.

I don’t know what kind of police station this is, but if it is a busy location with lots of people in and out that can shy someone away. Again I don’t think what she did was right but there is a huge stigma of shame and fear behind a situation like this.

She would of had to of shown her face immediately after giving birth to the local police station about wanting to give up her baby. Yeah she would of faced no crime but the shame/humiliation one would have is there. I obviously don’t think what she did was right at all, but more places needed drop off location where…

Every time I hear that any companies course of action to repair it’s misdeeds is to take sensitivty training I just die on the inside. I remember hearing from my wife the sexual assault ‘sensitivity training’ she received in the Air Force, which just boiled down to blaming everyone but the rapist. These attutides were…

There is also Implanon and other simular arm implant long term birth control options.

This is also a great alternative for those who have difficulty with pelvic exams but still wants a more long term birth control option.
