Mother who left baby at police station charged

Maybe if they did something to help parents with their children the police budget wouldn't be so high..........

Not saying the state should take over parenting, but if the parent isn't capable, there should be some sort of help available that didn't involve criminal charges.

Waiting until the child is a teen isn't the time for intervention.

Birth control. Birth control, birth control. It can never be stressed too much. This women did the right thing in turning baby in to the police, she just as well could have put it in a dumpster.

I am a proponent of sex education, including BC.
However, not every one that gives up a child began as a person that never wanted a child.
Making adoption simpler and more affordable is a solution. Making it easier to relinquish a child could help.
