Re: 2 month Old Baby found ALIVE floating on Lake! She's fine! (posted on 1/29/06 12:12 PM ET)
Every day I read the headlines on CNN.com and this morning I clicked on this link. Someone captured the moment on video when a couple of men pulled the baby from the lake. She is alive and fine! Check it out. It is very heart wrenching.

I almost didn't click on your post because it seemed so sad. Glad I did, though. It still made me cry but in a good way. What a tough little cookie that little girl is! She must be destined for great things despite her parents being idiots.

That's incredible! I felt a rush of all sorts of emotions and can't quite put them into words right now. I'm just stunned.

Why oh why can't people take a baby they don't want to a safe haven? I always think of all the people who cannot have children and so badly want one. I hope this baby finds a loving home soon. How totally sad.

Something about the wooden board in the bag kept the bag from submerging, makes me think that even though the parent threw the baby away, it wanted someone to find it. At least I hope so it just so sad that so little importance is given to a life. As someone said think of all those couples that would give anything to have a baby and can't .

Just reading the title of this thread made me sick to my stomach. What is wrong with people???
I'm so glad the baby will be ok!

In our state we have a law that allows someone to leave a baby at a hospital up until a certain amount of hours after birth without facing prosecution. Maybe that period should be extended to a few MONTHS and these things wouldn't happen! I agree with you, BjP--you are so right!

Maybe the mother was crazed with untreated post-natal depression and "wanted" the baby to be found (the wooden board and the pink dress). Also, the mother may have been abused, addicted to drugs and in any number of hopeless and insane cirkumstances (sp?) and so on. Who knows...

Amazing story. I'm so glad she was found and taken care of. I hope she finds a good home now, one where her guardians will cherish her.

This was in a small town in South America, Brazil to be specific. I have no idea what their safe haven laws may or may not be.
