But it can be a challenge when such little value is put on another person’s life. There could be lots of information we don’t know about this very young child’s mother, but the safe haven law is there for a reason. Those that choose not to follow it should and often times are held accountable when identified. I very much appreciate living around a person who takes the time to investigate why a young child is crying in the middle of the night. That is not something that everyone would take the time to do. In this case it certainly saved this young boys life. <BR/><BR/>It is this type of event that I will try very hard to remember when I get frustrated about some of the negative things that happen in the area. Even with all of them going on there are a lot of very kind and generous people living in Uptown that value the lives of everyone and want to make the positive changes needed to improve the safety and relationships with their neighbors.uptown vegetarianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16070889236511581451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-33860125997095998942008-07-08T10:02:26.183-05:002008-07-08T10:02:26.183-05:00The person who did this should be charged with attempted murder.UptownRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13424282764121703961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-48904258299216894772008-07-08T09:59:23.533-05:002008-07-08T09:59:23.533-05:00Wow...Brandon is a playa! Returning from a date at 2 AM on a Monday night? Nice!<BR/><BR/>I'm just joking...I think he should be commended for his actions! I hope that somebody gives him some official thanks and praise.marathonman1977http://www.blogger.com/profile/13614729157656252105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-42678300415868713842008-07-08T09:38:09.078-05:002008-07-08T09:38:09.078-05:00I'm sorry the mother didn't take the baby directly to the firehouse under the "safe haven" law, but I'm so happy the baby was found quickly and brought there anyway.<BR/><BR/>When I hear about newborns being found in the trash, it sends shivers up and down my spine.

I hope that authorities can find this child an adoptive home quickly so that he doesn't languish in foster care for too long.love in the 48th wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13545056447258780152noreply@blogger.com
