This week, I read an article about a mother that “accidently” dropped her baby in a squat toilet in Beijing, China. Worst of all, the mother “did not initially come forward to claim the baby”(Tang). Apparently, she delivered the baby in the restroom and was too scared to come forward. I believe that no matter the circumstances, she should own up for her actions even if she did something as idiotic as that. She should not even think twice whether she should retrieve her baby or not, especially after all he/she has been through. That is her baby, in other words, an extension of her. What did she hope for, to leave the baby stranded and hope it gets into a good foster home and avoid any embarrassment? What was going through her mind? Didn’t she wanna see if her baby was okay after firemen had to rescue it from the sewers?
