But Heather, you've missed the most telling comment from Robert Busby, of Weymouth, "She just literally picked it up with her hand and put it in some kind of bag she was carrying, AND THIS WAS IN MID-STRIDE ..."

THIS is a woman of action, a woman for the 21st Century!

JUDGE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

this is for all you new yawkers who think Boston ain't a big city. We have public transport, we have public birth, we have head cases. oh yeah.

This, too, makes me fucking sick and angry enough that I had to walk away from the computer for a while before I could write this comment. I hope all of that woman's children are loved and well cared for, but taken away from her. I hope she gets the help she obviously needs.

I also hope you aren't planning on making a habit of making me cry in this space. I see enough evil and pain just walking down the street. I do not need my faith in humanity any further diluted.

whatthefuck? this is why i'm leaving boston.

I read and re-read this article and was filled with an immense sense of longing for a warm, fragrant, steaming cup of coffee...

I just hope that mom and baby are both healthy. I think it's extremely judgemental to assume that mom has something "wrong" with her. Pregnancy and childbirth are very taxing on a woman, physically, mentally and emotionally.
