We live in disturbed world.

From the Omaha World Herald today.

A sixteen year old girl who gave birth to a newborn this morning, and then threw the newborn out a two story apartment window. The newborn died before first responders could revive the infant. This happened in Omaha this morning.

Very sad.

Poverty, desperation and fear, can make people do things they wouldn't, under better circumstances.

Infanticide is not a new phenomenon. It was happening long before humans existed.
