Hmmm, terrible thing? but unless you have walked in her shoes? Ahhh, this 14 year old deliberately killed the baby by trying to flush it down the toilet! This wasn''t a 4 year old that didn''t know what they were doing. She KNEW she was killing that baby. She could have taken it and dropped it anywhere where it could be helped. She could have just left it in the washroom and left so someone could find it. She CHOSE to KILL it.

I know that this child did a terrible thing, but unless you have walked in her shoes, I wouldn''t be too quick to judge her. To tell you the truth, I really feel sorry for her.

Who cares, it was just a baby.

Obviously you care enough to make such statement. Just a baby, how absurd! Human life is human life, whether that life is 2 secs old or 102 yrs old.

In 2000, Canada had 38 per l000 and the U.S had 84 per l000. In 2003 there was 32.1 per l000 in Canada. They say we have been on a decline since 1994. The U.S. is supposed to be doubled what we are today.

In all honesty, I personally think that most of the people in these forums think a lot more than most people. Why would they be reading about what is happening in the world and commenting on it if they werent? I worry more about the people who just dont give a ***.

I see a few personalities on this comment stream that would produce children behaving the same way written in this news article. Dysfunctional mentoring is evidence that suggests some bad influences succeeded in clossing some minds. Convincing a person with a closed mind that they need more education and an open mind to learn, is very difficult. They are anxious, stubborn and ineffective.
