While playing in the street, two boys heard a noise coming from a dumpster. They pulled out a bag which had a newborn baby girl inside. The baby is in stable condition at a local hospital.
Mama, it’s cold in here!
This was in the Queens neighborhood of New York City
You may not agree, but God can make all things happen for the good.
God Bless those boys and the baby.
Merry Christmas!
Mama, don’t hurt me!
Mama, I don’t understand.
This is what happens after several generations of teaching our kids they have no value. That they are a freak accident of lightning hitting a pool of goo.
If evolution is true, then you and I have no intrinsic value.

Oh,please! This was just a young girl making the most personal of decisions.How could she *possibly* go to school so she could turn her life around and take care of a child at the same time? Adoption would have been so cruel.....a dumpster was the only fair answer.

Execute the parents.
God bless this child. I hope she never finds out what her mother did to her and pray that she finds a loving family to raise her.
lol. Are you serious?
The country is worth defending, but some people in it aren’t...
Hate to say it, but another Democrat stronghold.
Florida has a law that permits parent(s) of unwanted newborns simply drop them off at a fire station, no questions asked, no ID required, just hand them over. Even with this law newborns, dead and alive, are found all the time in dumpsters or just left on the ground.
It believe that each of us will stand before the Creator one day and be required to give an account of how we lived our life and what we did with what was given us by the Creator. God’s word makes it very clear that to those whom much is given much will be expected.
I do my best to live my life in such a way as to make that day go as smoothly as possible, but I don’t mind saying I am scared to death of that day!
Christopher Moncada and his friends makes me believe otherwise. God bless these boys.
You’ve got it right... and I believe, knowing what I know about liberalism, that some of the roots of teaching evolution as fact is, indeed, to devalue human life and de-moralize the abortion issue. After all, if we are indeed made in the image of God, and he “knew you before He formed you in the womb”, then abortion would be universally viewed abhorrent instead of as a choice equivalent of having burgers or chicken for lunch.
Liberalism is about the absence of consequences for behavior. Start there, and most of their mindset starts to make sense.
Exactly....Those boys who did the right thing are worth fighting for.....
Keep on Rockin in the Free World!
And why are you so vain as to feel you do have “intrinsic” value?
Sometimes, I don’t think humanity is worth defending from it’s own destruction....
Thanks for the link
This is not a new phenomena...just more widely reported.
You truly do not think that this sort of thing didn’t happen long long before today do you?
This is a despicable act, but is hardly this something unprecidented in human history.
I don't even know where to begin...
Twice.
The Bible says ‘man was created in God’s image’. You cannot denigrate one without denigrating the other.
No problem. Most dumpster-divers are vegan anyway.
In Roman times it was common for unwanted babies to be left in the woods for animals to eat.
No, I didn’t think this never happened before today. Unfortunately, it is becoming all too common. That is the reason why I think I’m ready to spend the rest of my life watching old Warner Brother’s cartoons and practice Mel Blanc voices.
“This is what happens after several generations of teaching our kids they have no value.”
I had to stop to get gas at a very unsavory part of the city last night. As I went in to pay there was a small child running around seemingly lost. I stepped to the end of the line again to keep my eye on this lost child cell phone in hand.
After about 5 more minutes his mother came out the bathroom. She didn’t even look for this baby, just yelled “come on boy!” Never kept her eye on him while she paid for her things. The child could have been snatched in a heartbeat. The child was more of an inconvenience I guess.
Agreed. And I also believe that the single most important reason the evolution theory is pushed as fact is because it devalues, in fact it attempts to completely erase religion.
What an inane statement.
This country has always had good and bad people across the spectrum, to the very best, to the very worst. It’s worth defending for those who are doing the good and trying to get the bad to come around, one way or the other.
Denver? Dallas?
FR's resident Darwinists vehemently deny this. But, like the left, when you're attempting to destroy a foundational aspect of our society, you first must understand that a full frontal assault will not work, and work from cover/stealth.
> WTF ... I am seriously starting to believe this country is no longer worth defending!
Our country is the home of the brave and the land of the free is worth defending, but we need to clean out the socialists and liberals who are destroying it from within. We also have to button up the borders and purge the nation of illegals.
Those two boys live within our country and they are the reason we shall continue to defend it.
I feel for the child and and am disgusted by the mother. But it’s a fact that children have been abandoned for centuries for various reasons. It’s nothing new.
One scared and frightened teenager does something stupid and you condemn the whole country. Quite a leap.
This is the result of a culture where the lives of Children are a choice. And where now even Men are considered disposable. Michael Vick got three times the sentence that Mary Winkler did for killing or executing her Husband.
Mary shot her Preacher Husband in the back. Pulled the phone cord out of the wall so he could not summon help. And she let him bleed to death. Why not leave a Baby to die? After all its a Woman’s Right to Choose.
Left to their own judgment, the children know what is the right thing to do in this and many other cases. It is the sophistry of adults that leads them and us astray.
moonman,
I believe Samwise Gamgee said it best in LOTR TT.
“There’s still some good left in this world, and its worth fighting for.”
Don’t let the actions of the few cloud your judgement of the many.
“Christopher Moncada and his friends makes me believe otherwise. God bless these boys.”
Indeed.
What do you want to bet that the Department of Child Services will give the mother another chance?
I agree - WTF. I have an 8 year old. I remembered when he was a newborn. I know some state has passed laws like Indiana where you can leave a newborn at a hospital, no questions asked if you are unable to take care of it. Back around 2000, there was a baby left in the cold by a hospital. When it was found, it was already dead. I was so sick when I read about it.
