Just reacting to the story.

If someone dropped a 3 year old on your doorstep, would you react the same way?

I’d like to think that I would have the same empathy for the child, like you would for a complete stranger, hurt animal, or abandoned pet.

The child needed a safe and loving environment.  I agree call the police lest you be called a kidnapper.  But, putting any child into “the system” is just unnecessary cruelty.

I don’t have any “right answers” but I’d like to thing it could have been handled differently.
