[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 585981, member: 1024"] Step, I love you, BUT, before blaming fire station....How are they supposed to be aware that there was a drop off? It's not that common per capita. Most of the fire stations here are strictly volunteer. I don't find fault anywhere. It's a sad situation. The mother should not be prosecuted, as she did what she thought was correct. I'm sure the fire co. was in shock when they did find the child. If anything, the stipulation in the law should be that after making the drop off, the mother or whoever should make some type of phone call if there is no doorbell or someone to hand the child off to. I can only imagine the grief that girl feels knowing that the child died even though she did what she thought was best for the child. The whole thing is just a shame. No one should be prosecuted for it. The laws are flawed, but simply changing the laws to make the dropper make an anonymous phone call if they didn't hand off to a person would have made the difference in this case. [/QUOTE]
