It was a chinese woman who abandoned her girl. I don't expect Jen Chung to follow up on this story, for obvious reasons - although its a top news story on TV and the papers. I didn't know what race the mother was. I was very shocked. LOL.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1361004 http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1361004 Comments Tue, 13 May 2008 03:30:11 -0500 <p>Everybody loves an Asian baby girl. Look at that EMT.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360888 http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360888 Comments Mon, 12 May 2008 21:08:10 -0500 <p>The mother belongs in prison, and the child's race or picture needs to be released so it can help identify the criminal mother and send her to prison (or deported) where she belongs. Ha, I knew it. Assuming that the woman is some illegal immigrant. Given your previous racist posts, I'm not surprised. Your idea that a newborn's picture would help identify the mother shows you're dumb as a box of hammers. </p> http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360393 http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360393 Comments Mon, 12 May 2008 13:05:43 -0500 <p>Rocknrope, if the mother followed the law, she would have left the child in the designated safe haven areas. She decided to leave this girl abandoned like an old newspaper in the middle of nowhere. The mother belongs in prison, and the child's race or picture needs to be released so it can help identify the criminal mother and send her to prison (or deported) where she belongs.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360371 http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360371 Comments Mon, 12 May 2008 12:56:17 -0500 <p>#3, It would help catch the mother? I don't think the mother needs to be caught, per the safe haven rule. And how exactly would it help catch her? "Hey, it's an Asian baby, now, let's round up all asian women in Flushing..." Admit it, you just want to know what race the baby is to reinforce stereotypes of mothers who abandon their children.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360342 http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360342 Comments Mon, 12 May 2008 12:40:09 -0500 <p>I wonder why the news organizations won't identify the race of the abandoned baby in Flushing - or at least release a picture of the baby like they did in other cases. It would help catch the mother quicker if they did.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360122 http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360122 Comments Mon, 12 May 2008 09:31:32 -0500 <p>welcome to the world...bumpy start, but it's not so bad.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360115 http://gothamist.com/2008/05/12/baby_found_aban.php#comment-1360115 Comments Mon, 12 May 2008 08:52:50 -0500 <p>Not to be Captain Obvious, but better on a doorstep than in a dumpster.</p>
