Born again – new life after lawn birth
Stuff link: Born again – new life after lawn birth
You’ll recall that a few days ago a young woman gave birth in a Dunedin hostel grounds, and abandoned her baby. And here we have another very nearly similar case, where the young mother kept the baby’s birth from nearly everyone, including the baby’s father, whom she admits she became pregnant as a result of a ‘fling’. At least this case had a positive ending, with her eventually informing the baby’s father, and the two of them (re)forming a relationship that has resulted in a further child.
But the question must still be asked: how can a mother justify carrying a child and giving birth without involving the father? He is as equally responsible for the offspring, and the child has a full and unequivical right to two parents. The closing point of this mother’s testimony is:
“If I was to go back and do it all again, I wouldn’t have told anybody still but I would have got more help. I would have gone somewhere to have the baby instead of doing it myself. ”
“For other people, if they don’t want to tell anyone, that’s fine … but get help.”
This is just so sad – for the child’s sake.

hi al dorado.. god post.. but the most important question that is being overlloked is “how can the mother carry a baby throughout pregnancy and then abandon it when it needs it most?”.
FC’s bias of …Mothers right to her child being foremost…mothers don’t even want their child these days -and this is not just one case.. there are numerous others.
the picture of mother defending her child against wolves… yeah right.. not in this day and age.
