How could this childs parents be so irresponsible! I understand having money concerns, but this is your child and this child is your responsibility. If you are unable to meet the needs financially you can ask for help. If you really want to be rid of your child, then hand her over to the authorities, don’t just leave the child abandoned in public. So irresponsible!
royemerson: How long have you lived in China? ASK FOR HELP you say, there is practically 0% chance of anyone helping out financially, if they take her to the authorities they won’t be much help either. What they did was irresponsible, but they were trying to do the best for their child!
