I hear these stories on the news from time to time and it always makes me sad for the parent and the child. The state of Illinois has so many budget problems. I wish they would come up with some kind of resource, similar to the Safe Haven law, for parents of children older than 30 days. Either to give the parent some practical help, mentoring, parenting classes, or something so they wouldn't feel like their only option is to take the baby to the police station and bolt. Maybe when they finish fighting the budget battles.
