Current Events > A 2-year-old was abandoned at a Goodwill with a note and a bag of clothes

(+) Yeah! (+)

One suspect is in custody after a 2-year-old boy was dropped off at a Southaven, Mississippi, Goodwill store with nothing but a bag of clothes and a note, authorities said.
A bystander called the police on Monday morning to report that a man wearing black jogging pants and a black cowboy hat had dropped off a young boy at a Goodwill store and left, according to a Facebook post from Southaven Police Chief Macon Moore.
The child was too young to give his name or the names of his parents, according to Moore.

Nearby surveillance video captured images of both a male and female associated with the child and the vehicle they were driving when the child was abandoned, according to the social media post.
Moore did not disclose any further information about the charges or the suspect, as it is an ongoing investigation.
"There are three different agencies currently working this case," Moore said in a statement to CNN. "There could potentially be other suspects involved this case and is still being investigated."
Moore said the young boy is in good spirits and will be reunited with family when Child Protective Services "determines it proper."
"I would like to thank all of the citizens who showed concern for the child, rest assured he is well," Moore said on Facebook. "Thank you to all of the citizens who offered tips regarding the suspects in this case. The cooperation from the community and a unified effort from law Enforcement led to the speedy apprehension of suspects."

It's 2020, if Goodwill starts getting and selling babies I wouldn't be surprised. Something had to cap off the year

There are legal ways to surrender your child. This is not one of them.

I was hoping the article had the note in it.

Yes you can't just abandon minors.

Have to see if one of the parents files a missing child report since the only reason they wouldn't be able to give them up for adoption normally is if one of the parents objected. Meaning someone was trying to be a vindictive asshole to their lover.

why do we make kids when we can just adopt them

Because people value the pleasure of unprotected sex above the pain and suffering of bringing another person into this hell world, duh

Improper sex education and poor access to birth control = unwanted babies

Vasectomies and Tubal litigation should be free no questions asked to anyone who wants. If they regret it later they can help out by adopting.

Win-win

Yes but I didn't say reversal should be free.

It's also possible, but extremely rare, for a vasectomy to heal on its own.

My wife and I went through a miscarriage last month after years of trying to get pregnant and thousands of dollars in medical bills. It's fucking bullshit that people like us can't have kids but assholes like this can have them and decide they don't want them anymore and drop them off at a fucking thrift store

People like this should be spayed and neutered.

2 is too late.

Sounds crazy but I think when you've got a tiny little one you are allowed to take them to a fire station or church and abandon them. Sounds crazy but it think it is true.
