I hope that this mother is found and they throw the book at her... She gets no sympathy at all.
According to the laws regarding child abandonment, There will be no legal consequences for making this choice either parent can take the baby to :
Hospital, Doctor's Office , Birthing Clinic, Police Station, Sheriff Office, Fire Department, County Health Department
As long as the baby:
is 30 days old or younger,
is handed to a person at one of the above places,
shows no signs of abuse.
All of those I'm sure exist on Martha's Vineyard.
Did she at least ring the doorbell of the church? It wouldn't seem so. She abandoned this child with no regard to the safely of the child, that's no different than tossing it in a dumpster.

Once again,I do agree with you,And the baby gets a second chance at living.They will find her,and she will be punished,thats not even a question.You and I know why these policies are in place,and we understand them.Not everyone does.Not everyone is as mature,or as educated,or as knowing as you.Anyone who makes the call to the leave the baby doesnt have what it takes to care for it,and though she doesnt get my sympathy,I Do understand.
