some races get rid of girls do they not? that is true though however unpalatable. That doesn’t mean it necessarily applies here however without details it could still be a possibility.
I can only imagine that someone who abandons a newborn must be in a bad place, but part of my reasoning for imagining that is that I can’t imagine ever doing so myself, and as such I know that I would have to be in a bad place to abandon a newborn and as such my head says someone else must be as well, iyswim. Because the alternative doesn’t actually bear thinking about.
But let’s be honest some mothers do harm, abuse, even kill their children. Remember a couple of years ago that mother who reported the little boy missing in Scotland I think it was? There was a search, public appeals, outpourings of sympathy for what the mother must be going through, and then it transpired she’d murdered him.
And for some reason even when a mother kills her child people assume there must be some reason relating to her being a victim rather than the reality that sometimes women do kill their children.
There’s a story just come up as a newsflash on my phone actually about a mother of a three year old who has been found guilty of FGM. I wonder how long it will be before she is labelled a victim herself on here....
