Abandoned baby girl found in bushes

In Belford a young baby girl has been found abandoned in the playing ground of Daubeney Middle School. This baby was barely three hours old. A 16 year old boy and girl found the baby wrapped in a pink blanket during lunchtime on the playground of the school. The baby was brought to the hospital were they gave her the name Chloe. The police is trying to find the baby’s mother, who has probably in mental problems. A policeman mentioned that Chloe was found in the bushes because she was covered by leaves and twigs. Probably the birth mother did not want someone to find her, so she covered the baby with leaves. The baby did not worn any clothes, so because of the quick response of the two who found her and brought her to the hospital Chloe survived. At the moment the police is trying to find the mother of Chloe, they are looking for witnesses who have seen the mother leave the playground. They are very concerned for her welfare, so they hope she will identify herself so they can offer her medical help.

Reaction:
I think it is awful for a mother to just dump your child somewhere in the bushes. I can imagine if the mother is a teenager who is unwanted pregnant and scared to tell her parents or the father of the child, that she does not know what to do. Maybe she does not have the money or strength to take care of a baby. Though I do not think abandoning your baby is the solution. I mean, it is your own flesh and blood, so find a way to solve the problem. There are always people willing to help you, and if you are scared to tell your parents you can always find professional help somewhere, for example your family doctor or someone else who you feel comfortable and save with.
