    These lines do not compute:

    "Police said Wednesday that the mother likely didn't know she was pregnant and could face criminal charges related to her actions following the birth."

    "Investigators believe she was not aware of her pregnancy until the birth, and that the father was not aware he had a son until after the incident, said Staff Sgt. Leah Barber, who is with the Calgary police child abuse unit."

    :confused:

    You've never heard of the show "I didn't know I was pregnant"? Seems to be more common than you would think.

    So, as hard as it is to believe, I understand that there are times women just don't know they're pregnant until birth like this. BUT, she does give birth and dumps the kid like a used tampon? WTF?

    Yeah, the confusing part is that it says she didn't know she was pregnant UNTIL THE BABY WAS BORN.

    It seems like most pregnant women would notice the fattening of the stomach and no periods for 9 months.

    They wouldn't know because a lot of times, these women would be extremely fat and have irregular periods. This is not a joke.

    You need to watch the show. Most of them believe they have to take a massive dump.

    WHAT? You find a baby in the garbage, covered in garbage/filth, but hey - it looked ok so I went to work. Insane how people are.

    i thought that was odd too, but i think it's just poorly worded. I think he might be referring to his girlfriend saying she was sick but he left to work...then when he came home for lunch that's when they found the baby.

    Those quotes aren't next to each other in the article. One is offset and unrelated to the other. The actual article is:

    "And I jumped in and I removed the stuff and I personally opened the bag. My first sight of my baby was covered in garbage."

    The man, 30, said his girlfriend had complained Tuesday morning she was not feeling well.


    "And I jumped in and I removed the stuff and I personally opened the bag. My first sight of my baby was covered in garbage."

    The man, 30, said his girlfriend had complained Tuesday morning she was not feeling well.

    "When I looked at her, she didn't seem to be in distress," he said. "So I thought nothing of it, and I proceeded to go to work.

    I don't see what the problem is, it's not like he left the baby laying in the dumpster. It seems like he stayed there until the situation was taken care of, I don't see why he would be obligated to go sit at the hospital with it.

    He was talking about leaving his girlfriend in the morning while she was feeling ill.

    How could you find a baby in the garbage then just go to work?

    I think the amateur copy/pasta of the article has it all out of whack(wiggity whack).

    The girlfriend told him she didn't feel well that morning and he said he didn't think anything was seriously wrong with her so he went to work (God help this baby). It was then that he said he got a strange feeling and came home during lunch to find the baby.

    How could a father leave his baby in a dumpster to go to lunch?

    How the hell does a woman not know she is pregnant? Does she not notice no periods for so long and her growing belly (unless she is morbidly fat)?

    I'm guessing that you being confused as to what happened is UNLIKELY and that you are needling me because my wording could be interpreted to mean he came home specifically to find his baby instead of him coming home to check on his girlfriend only to unexpectedly find a crying baby in a dumpster that he didn't know was his until later.

    I'll ignore the uncalled for semantics attack if you will explain to me why it's ok for a man to leave his new born baby in dumpster then casually go to work.
