Don't they have safe places to take babies that the parents don't want? They do here. Here you can take a baby to the police or fire station and leave the baby, no questions asked.

What a *beep*!!! To leave a baby out in the cold like that to possibly die!

Any word on how the baby is?
The person who did that should be locked away for good and sterlized. That is such a horrible thing to do to such an innocent being..

I doubt it was done out of cruelty but still...Poor baby

Haven't read or seen anything about it. :s

hope she is ok. And yes, there are tons of places aorund here to help teens/unwed mothers.

This incident actually happened in saskatoon saskatchewan (about 3 hours from me). Unless there was another one in quebec im unaware about. Anyways, it has been given national attention, and the police are frantically looking for the mother. The morning that it happened, the dog inside the house apparently was barking, letting the owners know that there was someone outside the door, and not 10 minutes later the man of the house went outside to start his car. Thats when he saw this bundle by his feet, and realized that it was a baby when it squealed. The police say that it would have only had minutes to live because this was the coldest morning we've had so far this year (i think -41c). And estimated the baby to be only 20 minutes old.

In any case I hope they find the mother and she gets what she deserves!

edited to say that yes - the baby is doing fine, she was a healthy 7 pounds and is in the hospital. Now a case of social services.

I havent heard of it either....When was it -30 here? Lol

Ooh.. Was it saskatoon?... I got in mixed up I guess because there was something else I read too, and it was from quebec...Something about a bus crash full of little kids....They were all going skiing or something.

yeah the crash happened in quebec only the driver parished.

did u go outside today??? brrrrrrrrr

I live in saskatoon sask and I heard bout this on the news ...Apparently the baby was put inside a sleeping bag and left outside this home the dog inside heard some noises and started barking ...The owner went out bout 10 minutes later to start his car and discovered this 20 minute old bundle upon picking it up the baby cried and she rushed it into the house where his wife a registered nurse took over the car of the child while authorities were notified...There is a plea too the mother of this baby too come forward ...She wont be arrested they just want too make sure she is ok and find out the reasoning behind her doing this ....We are trying too get the same thing as the states where if a mother does not want her child she can take her baby too any church fire station or police station no questions asked ....The temp on that day was minus 39 with the windsheild

yeah lol but its no where near -30! I think its in the low 20's.

Yeah jess, that's what I was talking about. In the us if a mother has a baby and doesn't want it she can take it to a police station, fire station, etc and leave it with the authorities. They are not allowed to ask questions, not even for the person's name. They will then take the baby to child services. They started doing that because of all the teenage girls giving birth and literally throwing away the babies...

yeah, throwing them away. Have you heard that song by nickelback about that?

lmao u kidding?? It was -39 with the wind yesterday.

ok with the wind factor but the actual degrees..Lol.....I dont even bother with the wind factor anymore once it psses -10 its too darn cold for me and im a recluse

Well the mother came forward finally ...She is 18 has no one ...No family no friends apparently she hide the entire pregnancy and delivered by herself ...Said she choose that particular home cuz all the lights were still on there for someone was home ....She said she was scared and not sure how she is able too take care of a baby let alone herself ...Sad I think ...If only she went bout it a different way but I guess when yer scared u dont think rationally unfortunately

yeah like bringing the infant to a church or the ymca or a hospital...Screw that bs...She knew what she was doing and she should go to jail for leaving an infant out in the deadly cold ...
