In cases like this, I always wonder if the mother new that the hospital would have taken the baby no questions asked. - ty97 Aug 24, 15:25 8
- there are generally some other underlying mental health issues with cases like this too. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 15:27 6
  - That'll be her defense - postpartum depression. She'd already started therapy. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 24, 15:30 5
    - a friend of mine recently had postpartum psychosis. I didn't even know that was a thing. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 15:31 4
      - happened to my wife's cousin, too (unless that's the same person) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 15:53 2
        
        Brooke Shields developed the condition after having her last baby. After taking anti-depressants and counseling she became the national spokesperson. - Trish Aug 24, 16:31
        
        probably not, unless she's irish and lives in perth. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 15:58
      - (basically ended up committed for a month, with the baby, but always supervised) -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 15:32
- I believe at this age it was a little old for the safe-haven law (any ER, fire, or police station). Also there was a supportive husband at home. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 24, 15:27
*erase/erase/erase* ... that's just horribly sad Meg :( -- nm - JenBro Aug 24, 15:24
