My goodness, how can someone do something like this? In most US states you can abandon a baby in a police station or fire station without any questions or charges!
I am glad the homeless men did the right thing and contacted the authorities.

at least she didn't leave it alone in a field in an old washing machine or something. Who can fathom the psychology of people who abandon their children? I've lived in a car for three days but I'd never abandon my son. That this happens in America is astounding with all the government and social services that are available. I've used a few of them, Welfare, Catholic Charities, local food banks, there's so much help here, you have to wonder what's wrong with this woman's mind that leaving her baby with a bunch of old stinky men was preferable to what she had the day before.
