A 23-year-old woman delivered a baby in an Olympia hospital, put it in a plastic bag and placed it in the trash and then walked back into the emergency room, where she was being treated after coming to the hospital by ambulance for an unrelated complaint.

Mental illness of some kind is sometimes involved but women in their OK minds have this alternative. They can use the so-called safe haven law/Rebecca Nappi, SR. More here.

Question: How do you process stories like this one, of a mother dumping her baby in a hospital's trash?
