This story is a sad one, I remember this day well my daughter's friend lived in this apt. blding. Which is only 2-blks from the High School and a half a-mile from my home. I just don't understand why she did what she did, to throw away a human life like that and not think about going back to get it. Her own flesh..Good God !! She had just gave birth to it that day, in the very apt.Blding. To just walk out the back-door into the ally and throw her new-baby in the TRASH!! Like its day old garbage. Then walk back inside to her home and not give it another thought, She is one cold B.......(won't say the word)
