My heart beaks

For that poor little innocent baby tossed away like a sack of garbage down the storm water drain. I can't get my head around how any Mother could do such a thing. Never having gone through PND I can't fogive her actions as a Mother wouldn't you call out for help before it came to this?

It doesn't sound much like his parent would want to be in contact with him, I was thinking of his extended family.

"similar family values?"   didn't his mother just try to kill him?

[azureline**]

Yes, lets just assume his whole family wanted him to die.

For some reason his 30yr old mother didn't, or couldn't tell her family she was pregnant or that she had just had a baby. 

Why? Unusual situation....and I would be interested in knowing why.

Doesn't seem a loving, excepting open environment........

I think I read somewhere that the family was very religious, that could be a reason for the secrecy.  Not uncommon.

Sometimes the look of something is not how it really is.

I suppose we will need to wait and see what the circumstances are.

Given the way the media operates, it will be a trial by the public, long before the court decides.

Exactly ... I never assume anything these days

    I would be excluding his family.......if an adoption happened.

Really?..... I've never met a 30yr year old adult who couldn't tell their family they were pregnant.

Has anyone else?

Daniel Keogh investigates how a woman can hide a pregnancy and how others can be completely oblivious to the fact that someone they know is pregnant. In some cases there is a complete denial by women that they are actually pregnant.
