"Honey, I tried to throw you out once. Sorry."

*Probation for girl who left newborn in trash*

Can you imagine the child's surprise when he grows up, picks up a newspaper (or reads a blog...), and finds out that his mother tried to throw him out with the trash once? Me thinks he'd not be buying any more Mother's day cards....

Call me crazy but that's attempted murder. Sure she's young, sure she's dumb (she put her crying newborn into a garbage can), and sure she comes from a not-so-wonderful home of domestic abuse. But none of those reasons can excuse her from the attempted killing of her newborn son.

I'm shocked- no appauled- they let her keep the baby. As far as I'm concerned all she got was a slap on the wrist. She requires home-schooling because, let's face it, the community at large would love to give her a slap in the face.
