A Right For Privacy

I seem to differ from many of you concerning the abandoned baby. Why is this case made so public and the actors not hushed with all privacy? The mother and the baby now have marks for life. What are we going to do to protect them? We protect worse criminal than this mother before. In fact, if she is seen to have been temporarily insane, did she truly commit the crime?  I plea for the right of this poor girl who must have felt emotionally cornered. Women have been know to act very unusual at normal child birth and by all indications, there was nothing normal about this child’s birth.

 

A Right For Privacy

 

Accuse killers are protected though the facts are clear

Rapists, thieves and other miscreants, the media must beware

I can never condone abandonment of a child

Getting rid of an infant by leaving it to the wild

How convenient it would be to bag and throw away

Troubles of tomorrow from as early as today

For this young mother she had dreadful plans

On the beach, tied in a plastic bag, then washed her hands

Returning franticly when she awoke from her nightmare

Police had arrived on the scene and a crowd had gathered there

Repentance made her confess to the police the next day

It was a traumatic moment last night and an irrational display

Very torn by it all, she was prepared to face her crime

Arraign by the Law Courts and do the time

Cameras caught and papers published to complicate their strife

Young baby and mother now have a public sentence for life
