Pregnant woman shot in the throat in West Baltimore

It takes a special person to be a foster parent, having to give a baby back to the relatives. I know foster care is expensive and all, but shouldn't there be zero tolerance for some things?

I generally don't get all gushy about children, but I cannot fathom how someone could hurt a 2-month old baby. Some people need to be flogged.; Mon Mar 22, 03:00:00 PM EDT

The dad seemed to have enough of a conscience to go to the police when he found out the mother murdered the baby. We don't know enough about him, but if he was capable and wanted to parent the biological father should be given the option to do so before we go handing off children to the foster care system.; Mon Mar 22, 03:59:00 PM EDT
Anonymous said...: "Families" in Baltimore are sending their babies to aunts, uncles, and grandparents where they can then apply to the state for a foster care grant. These "families" should take care of their own and not defraud the Maryland taxpayers with their baby factories.; Wed Mar 24, 11:00:00 AM EDT
