That's what I couldn't understand. But she knew that baby would die and she left her alone long enough to make sure she died. She waited to call to get her act together and fake like she was crying and hurt when in reality she was relieved. She did this all for the D. Those few days are probably memorable to her. Come back, and instead of going home, she had more stops to make. People to see, more fun to be had. And that's just what she did so she could lay up with two different man. She'll have plenty of time to savor the memories.

If you REALLY mean what you say, there are dozens of children in the foster care system who have been through the same experience but fortunately lived. Consider looking into adoption.

People cry and moan about being unable to have their own children and yet there are so many children who need homes but only a fraction of people who foster or adopt. Every story like this has people(myself included) commenting on how they would take the child in a heartbeat, yet we do nothing for the children who survive this type of monstrosity.
