How Cruel Can they Get ?

I just realized that I was not able to watch local news for the past two nights. It has been a habit to me to watch the news every night before we head off to bed. I wanted to know what is going on around our country and around the globe.

And I do not know what to feel when I heard the news that yesterday there was an infant who was thrown out of a condominium window. I did not know the whole story because the reporter said it as a reference to the next report wherein a newly born baby was thrown out from a speeding taxi. Imagine that! I was thinking how cruel the mother is until I found out that she was not alone in doing the deed. Two adults were with her and according to those who investigated the crime, the 15 year old mother gave birth in the taxi. The poor infant suffered some bruises in her head and got a twisted hand.

I was wondering what in the world that these bunch of people thinks when they throw the infant. There are a lot of people in the world who badly wanted a child but they weren't yet given the chance to bear one. But she was given that chance yet what did she do. They may say she is young, even blame poverty for it. But are those reason enough ? Right now the baby is still under observation and I hope she/he can survive.
