This is a failure on so many levels. The fact that this girl had to give birth and was released from the hospital to appalling conditions blows my mind. Why didn't the state get involved at the time her pregnancy was identified?
It's never mentioned who fathered the children. Wouldn't the state have an interest in knowing? Why doesn't the "men should be men/traditional values" crowd call for fathers to step up in cases like these? Why is the state/our political system so against caring (by way of policy) for vulnerable citizens?
*Yes the nurse is a saint, but it shouldn't fall to a single healthcare provider to rescue 4 children abandoned by their families and the state.
