    someone please find her and blast her name all over the stations that’s what she gets there is no reason for that hope the baby is going to be alright I hope she goes to jail where she belongs

    She probably a young girl that didn’t want her parents to find out she was pregnant. And she was scared and didn’t know she was in labor and didn’t know wat to do. I feel for the mother.and I hope the baby is ok.

      While I admire your open-mindedness, there is no excuse for putting a baby in a trash can. She could have taken it somewhere where it would be quickly found, not in a damned trash can to die, with trash.

        there Is NO EXCUSE for this kind of thing at ALL!!! And if tat is the case drop him/her of at a hospital/fire station/or police dept not in a dang trash can that is just SICK!! If she didnt want her parents knowing she was pregnant then shes not mature enough to be even having sex!!

        Funny thing is, there’s a fire station right near there. I’m a19 year old mother of 2 and I have no sympathy for this woman. Regardless of age or circumstance, that’s below a low thing to do!

        There really is no excuse regardless of age or circumstance! I’m a 19 year old mother of 2 so I have no sympathy whatsoever! That’s beyond low for someone to do for any reason! Oh, and there was a fire station not far from there!Once again, NO SYMPATHY AT ALL!!!

      young maybe but as for her parents to know I don’t think so this is a large company she had to work there so she was 18 or older the bitch was just throwing it away like trash ! or worst yet was it in the mens room maybe a guy brought it in from home ?

    These comments are disgusting every last one if them. I hate when ppl throw “I can’t have a Baby how dare she” your circumstances has nothing to do with what ppl do like they’re thinking of your ruined womb while they’re doing bs like this.

    Hey James, what about the lady who killed not one but seven (7) of her own newborns? I don’t remember her being black. Or the recent headlines of the couple who left their child to die in the hot car, also not black. Open your mind and get some black friends to help you see differently.

  • James

    Or Leroy that one guy that shot the pregnant woman robbing the bank. I’m not saying that white people don’t do stupid shit but the most senseless and heinous crimes are committed by black people
