Not exactly an AIBU but wasn't sure where to put this...
I just saw a news article about a baby being abandoned in London on Thursday night, poor thing. I'm glad she was found!
One of the quotes from the article is that police are becoming increasingly concerned for the mother.
There are always quotes from police along these lines when this sort of thing happens, and I suppose my question is, do you think are they concerned for her health due to her possibly needing medical care having just given birth?
Or are they mainly saying that to try and get her to come forward without being afraid of prosecution (and would the mother be prosecuted in this kind of situation)?
I'm just curious really!
