Another fine example of a loving mother....
From dumping kittens, to tossing them on the road, to a father killing his son on fathers day, not a day goes by without a story like this.

Dont have kids if you cant care or dont care about them!!!

A mom dumps her kid at WalMart and splits.
What a country we have!!!

Boy, 2, abandoned at Wal-Mart 1:35

While she should have gone through the proper channels at least she didn't kill him and he obviously wasn't removed from her care due to neglect before this. Sometimes the kindest thing one can do is to walk away.

...she didn't feed him to the kittens. That's something.

Sad?
Mean?
How about REALITY!

It is reality CR...and it makes me sick that people treat their kids like this!

How about being RESPONSIBLE to the lives you bring into this world instead of tossing then away like trash?

You mean like giving them up for adoption? The end result is the same.

I don't really see how this is any different, or worse, than dumping a baby on the steps of a church. The end result is that the child will end up in a loving and caring forever home :cheesy:

Take the babies blood, run a DNA test, Run the results through the NCIC, locate the birth hospital, gather the medical records, find said mother, track her down, slap her in the face....

Would make a great TV show!

I have an adopted brother who was found at a church. This was years before states had "Baby Moses" laws.

See that you are not up to date on the current foster home crisis...
Too many kids..not enough foster homes, and many of them abuse the kids and the system...and not enough staff to oversee the kids or the foster homes.

Watch Wednesdays Kids on Ch. 4 for starters.

It's a 2 year old. He will be in foster care, regardless of how he got there. Whether he was abandoned, or it was done up in nice, legal packaging.

Walk away from a 2 Y/O with a note? :smack: :jameo: :bonk: :banghead:

Maybe should have just let him play in traffic!

And then there are other foster parents that love the children just as if they were their own

Very true...there are a lot of wonderful foster homes and families.
Sadly, we never hear about them, only the bad ones when kids die from abuse and neglect.

Ever wonder why so many kids get adopted from overseas when so many kids here just waste away in the system?

There is no one answer for all situations, you are making a lot of assumptions.

If you would like to hear happy foster family stories I can start by sharing one a day - just let me know do you want them emailed, pm’ed, or posted on the open boards.

As for adoption - there is a difference in fostering and adoption - in fostering the goal is reunification with the birth parent once they do what they need to do to regain their children. Adoption is final in most cases and there are many reasons people choose the type of adoption they do - my niece was adopted from Russia b/c my in-laws didn't want to have to deal with the adoption laws here - the mom can change her mind, it was much more expensive than to do a private adoption from the States but once they had her home she was theirs.

No, never wondered. I know folks that adopted from overseas and every one said the :bs: you had to go through to adopt here was insane.
Guy I work with has a Chinese kid. Said going there and getting her was the trip of a life time. Toured the country and stayed in great hotels. Approval was a lot easier and he said it cost less than the legal fees here.

Its going to get wasted anyhow. As soon as that ##### dropped of her kid, it became property of the taxpayers, until it gets adopted.

And you are certain that she was receiving no assistance before she dropped him off?

you can thank the liberal judicial system for that.

Parents adopt a kid. 10 yrs later, said crack whore mother whom left her kid on the steps of walmart, wants her child back.

Kids get ripped away from adopted parents....

Sorry, but I wouldnt want to ever go through that!!!!!!!

That was my thought.

There's no man hunt ongoing for the mother that killed her child. She was in over her head, and didn't make a great choice, but it's a hell of a lot better choice than others have made.

I'd rather read this story, than one of a two year olds body being found in a dumpster.

She won't win a medal for what she did, but...

...knows? Her life could be so ####ed up that she just saved the kids life by keeping him away from her psycho boyfriend/childs father.

Try to put yourselves in this womans shoes.. He is an adorable boy (would it make a difference if he wasn't?).. I'm sure she loves him, but i assume she knew she couldn't do it, and was trying to think what was best for him.

Can you imagine getting to the point of realization that the most important being in your life, you can't help, you can't have. The desperation she must have felt when she left him standing in Wal Mart?

This was not, apparently, a neglected nor an abused child. This looks like a child from a mother that loved him, that tried to take care of him, but realized that for him to have a good life, a better life, he had to go be with someone else.

Exactly. So many different scenarios, where this could have been the best option for the child.. Sad, but reality.

Why would she leave him at Walmart instead of a hospital or police station? True, maybe she was so desperate she had to do what she thought was best. But Walmart?

If it's true that the mom did this thinking it was in the kid's best interest, I can only imagine the heart-ache she felt as she was walking away from her child, knowing it was the last time she'd ever see him. I could never do that to one of my kids. I would do anything I'd have to so that we could all be safe and together. I even feel alittle sad putting them to bed at night because I know I won't see or hear from them until 3pm the next day.
