Every child deserves to be loved and taken care of…😞 this poor beautifulsweet baby. Why couldn’t you just turn your baby in to the firefighters??? Ugh this disgusts me so much…

[@mari189ful]

I don't understand why people harm their children. They give options for them to give their child over to the hospital or fire department if they don't want the responsibility of being a parent.

[@meatpopsicle1567]

It's the 21st century. Life is cheap.

[@tinkitits]

Mental health is treated like a privilege not a human right!

[@meatpopsicle1567]

Who said there was a mental health problem?

[@Kay-ws2kk]

Your nuts it's a Evil sinner.

[@WillowEverlight]

What a shitshow

[@meatpopsicle1567]

California is attracting the worst America has to offer.

[@Dreams_Of_Purpose]

This is extremely disturbing😢 so many people don't deserve to have kids. They should be outlawed from ever going near a child ever again. Prison for life!!!!!

[@cwwingate9687]

And yet abortion is being made illegal.

[@Citrusfruits50]

Poor baby 😢

[@toshimuhammad3910]

Just heartbreaking 💔 praying for the life of this precious baby 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿.

[@tinkitits]

Prayer is stupid. Why would you pray to a god who allowed it to happen in the first place? Isn't he all knowing and powerful, yet he allows this to happen? That makes prayer stupid.

[@spxlucky13x]

So sad😢 I can't even imagine

[@Koir43]

Ages Newborn ? 1 3 5
Dad 24 ? Assuming The mom is around the same age . Smh this is so so sad smh they was too young to have all those kids for 1 . I know he was overwhelmed and it’s so sad

[@immealldayeveryday9425]

Yet did nothing to prevent them, that is not an excuse

[@joannlindsey4081]

What a shame. Doomed before he ever had a chance. God's rocking him in his arms now.

[@ScarletAdhesive]

IDK but that last statement from the old man, " we can't even live our normal daily lives." That hit me sideways. Heaven forbid we are denied our normal life, never mind they are digging in a landfill for our grandchild!

[@jcbell-dh1bm]

Maybe his Grandbabies are part of his normal daily lives.
I know mine are. I would feel the same way.

[@bpxl53yewz29]

I heard it as they are so worried they can’t even do normal, everyday tasks until they find out what has happened

[@fashiondiva6972]

You’re trying too hard to be offended🙄

[@UnknownPerson-ub8ox]

Poor baby this is very unsettling. Hope he’s ok.

[@babylon616]

RIP, Baby.

[@einienj3281]

4 kids....

[@fur_baby_mama]

That man is emotionless and more concerned with the disruption to his ‘normal daily life’ than the missing baby.

[@michaelcharlesthearchangel]

The human masses are regressing in intelligence while the blessed few are progressing in the midst of civil disfunctions.

[@fashiondiva6972]

Spell that again🤦🏾‍♀️

[@nerminnagi6654]

What would happen to the other children

[@monicakelloway3953]

Oh Dear Lord please find him alive but I doubt it 😢❤

[@sandreawhite7534]

Prayers 2:20

[@booklover6403]

Isn’t this the landfill that has other bodies in it and the police were unable to find them

[@parkinggirl]

omg....

[@john_wick1]

just look at that baby's father...

[@CrazyPeople62789]

Let’s look at the mother too WHO HAD CHILD ABUSE CHARGES 2 DAYS AFTER THE NEWBORN WAS BORN

[@TheBlueGirl18]

sad

[@shannondiaz73]

I find the people that knew the qbuse was going on should be arrested 😢 i would of never allowed my son or daughter to take the babies or baby away if i knew abuse was going on ! The system for sure let that baby die and everyone that knew about the abuse! Like WITF!!!! Honestly like WITF 😢😢😢 Poor poor innocent lil baby how could you fail him !?!?!?! God i ask that you protect the babies 😞😞😡😡😡 RIP lil 👼🏻

[@cymbolichuman433]

The grandparents should have had a chance to adopt the child.

[@kelseyjay3733]

Weird

[@CCdion23]

Sorry I’m distracted by that braid… can you repeat the whole story ?

[@renewashington791]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@gailgrant3209]

Y’all are so shallow and disgusting. 🤮

[@thetrainwreck1469]

That beard hair

[@shipwreck8847]

Once I saw the baby's dad, I knew it would wind up in a landfill.

[@FurthermoreJack]

There's only 5 tons of leftover Sushi to sift through

[@jhowardsupporter]

He'll be fine

[@ArabellaPottery]

This is pro lifers fault.

[@CrazyPeople62789]

For sure

[@SK-rs1hu]

How so? They're in California the state pays for people's abortions how dumb can you be

[@ontherockswithsalt2335]

The day my daughter comes home with a goof like that is the day she is on her own. What parent lets their daughter lower herself to that type of gutter rat?

[@meatpopsicle1567]

How?

[@ArabellaPottery]

@@meatpopsicle1567 Bet you a dollar she was a christian woman. and the sperm donor too.

[@grandmaLilith]

This man is #Forgiven, The Lord wanted a little baby angel and he sent orders to get it......

[@Jefe-qh8kd]

That's disgusting.

[@sdilluminatigrandfounder1813]

What is wrong with you people? You sound insane.

[@jennifer.b.l]

So abortion is a problem when procedures are performed before the fetus is even sentient and doesn't even feel pain, but y'all accept a baby being murdered and claim it's God's will.. what is wrong with y'all.

[@mikeylikesit6622]

Forgiven ????? #babykiller more like

[@meatpopsicle1567]

God may forgive him, but the State of California won't.

[@marcosvalencia8039]

Most likely he did. something to that baby typical criminals?
