area. Some have died, discarded in dumpsters. Others have been wrapped in towels and left for someone to find. Why is this happening? In this four-day series of articles, we focus on one mother who abandoned her baby. As this case shows, there are no clear-cut explanations;
there are only observations, theories and, very
often, regret.
