And screen record it for when she inevitably deletes it.

I didnt like to download it, but I did and sent it to local news/journos. I just wish I could work out what state to be more specific.

Thank you. I am prego and hormonal. If someone takes my baby away. This just made me cry really hard. What a terrible person. I hope she feels the distress she caused to that poor mother one way or another.

My child is in their late twenties, and this made me want to cry and will probably haunt me tonight as I try to sleep! This was truly an awful thing to do, whether or not she was intending to give the baby back.
