A very sad case of [probably] an immigrant mother with few potions. While I don't condone her actions I'm not so fast to condemn her either.. society has let her down!

An immigrant worker in Thailand has very few options and even less support.

The report states that it is believed she aborted the baby so she may well have had "a few potions" [sic].

In many parts of my home country, unwanted children can be dropped off at hospitals, police or fire stations, no questions asked. I hope Thailand will adopt a similar plan soon. Perhaps they have, and I'm not aware of it.

 

Such a sad story.
