Here’s a story I’ve just seen on Facebook appealing to the mother of a baby that was abandoned in a park. The baby was in a plastic bag and a blanket on one of the coldest nights of the year in the UK

In the comments were two schools of thought:

- those who say there are no reasons in the world to do this, and that if the baby was to be abandoned it should have been done so somewhere warm

- those who say we don’t know the circumstances of the mother (could be child/rape victim/DA victim etc) and should refrain from shaming her on a public forum and just be thankful the baby was found safe

How do you feel about this? What would you have done?
