IMHO, if she wanted to abandon a baby.. she should have tried the local fire house, hospital, library etc... I have absolutely NO issue with someone abandoning a child in order to get that child a better life but a subway platform?
“...but a subway platform?”
Eh, there are worse places. That’s a crazy busy station, I don’t think it was such a bad place. You see from the story someone stepped up right away to look out for the baby.
In a way it’s a great NYC story.
People in this country seems confused by New Yorkers sometimes, but here is the thing: in NYC we know that total strangers are our neighbors and we DO look out for one another as best we can.
Sometimes, no, it doesn’t work, but very often it does. This story is one example.
If the woman cannot care for her child (and she is most likely mentally ill) someone will be happy to care for that baby. More than happy, they’ll be over the moon about it. Let’s hope they can be found if the mom’s not up to the job.
