People do that?

Unfortunately people do all kinds of unthinkable things.

Is the baby all right?

She's fine now. Fortunately, it wasn't even her blood so she was physically unharmed.

Thank goodness. Ugh, it amazes me how some people have no concern for the kiddos.

With all the help out there, it really is a shame.

Oh my, is the baby alright?

Yes, she's doing fine. Fortunately, none of the blood appeared to be from the child. Very shaken up though. We are trying to locate a relative.

Such things anger me.

Perhaps I should curse the parent if they are responsible.

Just keep it in mind if you ever have kids.

I have twin boys and I would never abandon them. They don't need me anymore but I'm still their mother.

Wow. I mean no offense, you look very good for a mother of twin boys. Good to hear that you are so caring though.

*laughs at that* How could I take offense? I'm glad to hear I look good for it though.

*smiles* Well, you are as well or it wouldn't bother you so much.

Do you have children?

*smiles back*

I have a daughter, Rachel.

Unfortunately it looks like I have some more work to take care of.

*Speaking as he's off to the next bit of ER business*

Nice chatting with you.

Shit. Is the baby alright?

She's calmed down a bit. Luckily the baby seems mostly unharmed and I've handed her off to someone capable. The blood wasn't from the child.

That don't sound any better.

Where's this changing station? I'll start trying to find out who's responsible.

I believe it was in a restaurant or local mall or something like that.

That narrows it down. If you can get any more details, let me know. I'll find out what I can.

You read about it all the time in the papers. It's the sign of the times, isn't it.

We live in a society which thinks everyone is entitled to having, what we want and right now. People don't bother about the consequences later. Rather than face them, deal with them, it's easier to dispose of the offending item and move on, or simply ignore it.

It's not meant to judge the mother's actions, we don't know the circumstances why. But the trend to abandon a life, or things once they outwear the useful/shinny factor is disturbing.

I hope welfare can help the mother if they find her, and the baby.

It really can be kind of depressing. A colleague of mine deals with it much more in this aspect, but the general lack of concern for anything seems to be growing all the time. But then again, maybe it's just time for a day off.

It's funny isn't it, we can express out disgust at a baby being abandon but if we have to express our feelings, admit it's depressing, we say other things cause us to feel that way.

It's okay, to say it's depressing and it gets to you. You don't need an excuse, why.

A day off though, is always good.

I still don't get how people can do shit like this to their kids.

I know. Maybe it wasn't the parents though... Circumstances could have been anything.

At least she's okay. And in good hands.

I know. I know. My mind always goes to the parents first. Bad habit...

And yes, at least she's alright. And thank you.

Hazard of the job probably. Get any coffee?

Haven't had a chance yet thanks to the auto vs. pedestrian that came in right as I clocked on.

It's almost not mud. If that says anything.

Better jump on that. Cover for me for five?

On it.

Why would someone do that?

Bad parenting? Kidnapping gone wrong... Could be anything.

But it's just a child.
