A woman apparently left a small child on a North Side Chicago street corner and walked away.
The incident occurred Wednesday around 11:48 p.m., near the corner of North Racine and West Wilson Avenues. That's approximately 4600 North Racine and 1200 West Wilson, at the intersection near the Uptown Chicago Fire Department station house.
A black woman wearing a black jacket and blue pants, left a one-year-old in a stroller at Wilson and Racine, said a concerned 911 caller.
After leaving the baby, the woman walked eastbound on Wilson to Broadway, said the complainant.
Shortly after authorities arrived, at 11:51 p.m., a Chicago Police Department supervisor was requested by officers at the scene.
At 12:08 a.m., police were trying to located a child’s car seat.
It’s unclear if officers made contact with the woman who reportedly abandoned the child.

What a sorry ass loser but at least this child MAY have a chance to grow up with respect and manners. Perhaps she did the best thing for this child but here's a thought, why don't these "spreader" use birth control? Sometimes I think China has the right idea!
ReplyDeletetowanda, I agree 1000%. :)
ReplyDeleteThe time to consider your child's needs, is BEFORE YOU GET PREGNANT!
ReplyDeleteThis story broke my heart. :-(
I say ALL girls, boys too if it were possible, be put on a 10 year (at least) birth control once they hit puberty.
ReplyDeleteI know there's SO much involved, and it's a big can of worms, but if this is how things were, AT LEAST the high schools wouldn't need day care.
Another child was dropped off here today or yesterday...11 years old. How sad and pathetic is this. I thought there was an age limit on the safe havens?
ReplyDeleteDo black women use birth control AT ALL?
towanda, I recall safe haven for babies, not eleven year olds. Perhaps, the 11 year old is a brat.
ReplyDeleteWomen are always "blamed", but what about the men using condoms? :)
