I thought churches and hospitals were safe havens? Have they changed that rule/law or is it because she just left him and didn't hand him to someone. I'm not saying what she did was right I'm just curious.

You cant just leave a child, you have to hand it over to someone.. What if no one went to the side door of the chuech for a few days???

She kind of had the right idea, just no common sense i guess.

I think the mother made the best decision that she was capable of. She is concerned about her child's future.
