I was holding our infant son when my wife shared the following with me this morning. It’s hard to describe how I felt.
More confused yet is the thinking that allowed this to happen. You can see that in the following quotes…
…a newborn baby being saved from a public toilet after her mother tried to cover up her pregnancy.
The girl survived her ordeal and is now in hospital with her mother, who was tracked down by the police.
Its unclear if she will be charged.
The near tragedy caused heated debate on local social media with many discussing the lack of decent values among the country’s youth.
…confused indeed. If you can kill a child in the womb, no wonder there’s confusion over whether you can be charged over treating one as refuse.
There are two victims here. Firstly the child and secondly the mother, both being victims of deeply confused thinking over life. If there is a “lack of decent values among the country’s youth”, we need to first start thinking about the toxic ideas we are soaking them in.
Let’s not only condemn the confused thinking but explore some positive actions to move beyond it.
