Yorktown Woman Abandons Her Baby

A good girl from a nice wealthy neighborhood in York County got herself pregnant, didn’t tell her parents about it, and abandoned it in the woods behind her home. The baby was fortunately found and it is healthy and will be raised by someone else now.

Virginia has a safe haven law. It states that you can leave your baby, up to 14 days old, with an employee at any hospital emergency room or an emergency medical rescue squad in Virginia. Leaving it to die in the woods alone is unthinkable and evil.
