Thank you Sister MsVera for sharing.
This is sad ... and while my heart goes out to the Momma ... the baby is of greatest concern.
The Momma looks like a child herself, though it says she's 20, which isn't much more than a child.
The kind of preparation and training she rec'd, prior to becoming a Mother, might explain some of this.
So many young girls end up pregnant, without any clue at all, as to what is required of her to do the job.
Without wise parents of her own, supportive Family and Community, the odds are against the young Mother.
But at this point ... the young Mother is an adult ... and the first concern must be given to the child.
Maggots in the baby's diaper?! No sense of responsibility to even clean the baby up before going to the hospital?
I'm reminded of the often told caution ... to always wear clean panties ... in case you end up at the hospital.
I guess this young Mother never rec'd that lesson, for surely she would have cleaned her baby's bottom if she had.
Babies making and raising babies ... this is what it can lead to ... without proper guidance and direction.
Love You!
