Mum who dumped a tot is jailed

 

A CAREER mum dumped her baby on a stranger's doorstep to stop his dad bringing him up. The householder heard the 12-week-old boy crying in his pushchair on a cold winter's night. And yesterday the mum began six months in jail for her heartless act.

The judge at Newport crown court told her: "You are a selfish woman who acted out of spite. "You did nothing to alert the occupants. They might not have found him." The court heard that the woman, 30, from Preston, dumped her son 200 miles away at Newport, South Wales.

She had found that she was pregnant after splitting with the dad. The first he knew

of the baby was when he was told by an adoption agency. It is his second child with the mum of three. The woman, who admitted cruelty, was said to have had depression.

  11. this is my opinion regarding question number 5, Heaven is in the soles of the mother's feet are aphorisms that we often read and words that we often hear. When a baby is born into this world, no one asks to be born.
    And when and where a baby will be born into this world no one knows. When a baby is born into this world, no one knows who the parents will give birth to.
    My opinion is that a mother who throws away her baby is a person who is not responsible for the results of her actions. And a mother who has no conscience as a human being. a very selfish mother only because of revenge she could throw away the child she gave birth to herself. Depression cannot be used as an excuse to throw away an innocent baby, the mother should have told the father of the baby if she did not want to take care of it. Just because of resentment against the baby's father, the mother who gave birth to the baby had the heart to throw away the baby or her own flesh and blood.

    1. Maybe other friends have their own opinion

      Hapus
    2. In my opinion, the woman's actions are very evil, because as a woman, especially a mother, who has conceived and given birth to a child with difficulty, she should love her child no matter what, because children are the most beautiful gift given by God to a family that she should get an affection and love from his mother and father, don't because just a grudge makes us selfish by throwing away a gift from God and if indeed the child is not wanted it should be put in a place that is worthy of a baby, not just abandoned, especially in cold weather conditions.

      That's my opini guys

      Hapus
    3. in my opinion it is something that should not be imitated because it can have an impact on others
      especially in young children who are still vulnerable to being affected by the negative impacts of the surrounding environment

      Hapus
  12. In my opinion
    it is not appropriate for a mother to act like that by throwing away her baby
    whatever the reason, what if no one finds the baby?
    In my opinion, children are entrusted by God, a mother must look after and care for them regardless of their conditions and circumstances

  13. For question number 5, in my opinion, the mother's actions were very evil. It is not appropriate for him to leave a three-month-old baby in a place of unknown people especially in cold weather. Children are a gift given by God that should be cared for properly, given love, with all their soul and body. If you don't want to take care of the child, the mother can tell the father. The mother should not be selfish, not just because of revenge, the child who becomes the victim and throws it away, even though the child is innocent. Don't make the child a victim because of a problem that is befalling the mother, the presence of the baby should make the mother a more responsible person because she already has a child

  14. In my opinion, I am about a mother who has the heart to throw away child number 5. The actions taken by this mother were very cruel, leaving a 3 month old baby in a place of unknown strangers. . . the child is innocent, he is still small and doesn't know anything, a child is a gift from God the Almighty, which we should take care of with great affection... but this mother because of her selfishness because of revenge she has the heart to throw it away and keep the child away. Speak nicely to you, don't act alone
    that's my opinion thanks

  15. 5. In my opinion, the women actions were very cruel. There are many couples out there who want a baby but can't for several reasons. Child is a gift from God, looking after and child caring is the duty of parents, then throwing away the baby is an act of abandoning obligations (irresponsibility). Mother who have the heart to throw away their own baby will be subject to painful punishments cause they have committed a grave sin that is tantamount to threatening the lives of other innocent people. Every human who is born into this world must have a predetermined fate and destiny, maybe the baby will have good fortune later. Even though she had three children, she should have told her husband beforehand that if she didn't want to take care of the children, at least don't throw them away.
    No matter what the circumstances, a mother still has to carry out her duties as a mother, so is father. In this story, the woman's actions are very inhumane, selfish and thoughtless.

  16. 5. According to my mind
    newborns should not be left and thrown away. what if no one comes to pick it up and take care of it.
    meanwhile the woman feels tired and tries hard to give birth to the baby.
    So don't ever do that in your life, because we don't know in the future, who knows if the baby will bring good luck, what if the baby gives you good luck in the future.

    1. according to me I don't think a baby should just be thrown away, especially in a stranger's house. if you really don't want to take care of the child... put it in an orphanage or a place for children who can take care of it

      Hapus
  17. I think the story is very sad because actually the baby was completely innocent, and the actions that the woman committed were truly terrible and beyond reason. I think what is really needed is to give understanding, especially to parents, then to children. So this has to be done in both directions for the result to be effective. but there needs to be awareness so that the problem does not recur.
