    1. The mental health system (insurance) is the main issue here. See the mental health commission of Canadas 2006 report, “out of the shadows” and then their reports about “structural stigma “ for a sense of what this person is facing.

    2. Post partum depression! Baby is 2 months. Hope she gets the help she needs. And she’s reunited with her infant.
      (Edited for grammar)

    1. That’s because they’re most likely still looking into it. Diagnosis of mental health takes time (at least days), unless the person displays very obvious signs.

  1. I know she’s been charged but an investigation needs to take place. Even though there are “options” made available through government agencies, it isn’t always attainable. The circumstances and mental health of this woman need to be assessed. Criminal charges don’t help unless they are used to get her help.

    1. The 1st process is charging then proceeded with professional help. I’m sure they know what they’re doing. The don’t know this person!

    2. Also too poor to have an Alexa to listen in on her and call Mental Health like she has on so many other Canadians who don’t need it the past 2 years. Seems like it’s the USA style approach now — only way into the system is via the criminal justice route. How we have fallen.

    3. She’s a sociopath. We have prisons for them.

      She’s already on probation and she’s in her 30s. There’s no excuse. Stop making excuses for anti-social delinquents.

  2. Does this community have a safe baby box programme? If so, maybe it needs more publicity. Either way, you cannot abandon a child to the elements – especially in inclement weather.

  3. “Uttering threats to cause death.” To the child or oneself? Also, does Canada/Ontario have any safe haven laws? Allowing parents to leave their baby at a police station/firehouse?

    1. Well I remember one woman had a baby and dropped it off at a fire station in Toronto. Where I live. The infant was handed over to the authorities and children’s Aid.

    2. There are hospices, several in fact, that can handle these types of events. When you’re all methed up its hard to find them.

    1. Jail time definatley. Quit tryna excuse her shes an adult that spread her legs and carried the child for 9 months.

  4. 😔😢 I was also abandoned but a few weeks old only and still, everyday I hope my birth mom got all the loving support she needed….. We will never know who she was. She’s a part of me and when my heart aches, I can only imagine how desperately her soul aches… 😔 Help this infant………… I wish I could.

    1. Everything is for a reason. You have such a big and trusting heart. In many news like that the legal system only charge the mother. When is it time to have the father to take some responsibilities ?

  5. She probably never got the help she needed. At least she did not harm the baby. It is a shame that mothers like her do not get the needed help. She was clearly afraid to ask for help and did not know what to do. Canada needs to do a better job when it comes to this but it seems that they are better at providing the abortions.
