Toddler Abandoned by Woman at South L.A. Bus Stop

I found this story on KTLA News.
A woman left a 3-year-old boy all alone, in the middle of the night, at a South Los Angeles bus stop, with a purple stuffed frog. Captain Robert Green says "a man saw the woman waiting for a bus with the boy sleeping in her lap at about 1 a.m. Friday". The man also said he, "saw her boarding the bus, leaving the child behind, and yelled at her to 'Hey, you forgot the kid.' "Det. Javier Lozano said, "she turned around made eye contact, basically did one of these waves at him, boarded the bus and left." The man said he sat with the boy waiting for the mother to return for about an hour, but she never came, nor did anyone else to claim the child. Eventually the man took the 3-year-old boy to 77th Area Police Station, which was nearby. The boy was taken to the hospital to make sure he was in good health, and was determined to be in a good condition. The police are not sure if the woman who left him there is his mother or not, but the she is described to be 20-25 years old, 5'4", Hispanic, and wearing a black and red checkered poncho. The police also believe the boys name is Xavier, he is Hispanic as well, with brown eyes and brown hair which was styled into a Mohawk. Anyone with information about the mystery woman or parent or guardian and/or the 3-year-old child, is to call police at (213) 485-6991 or 1-877-LAPD-24-7.

My first reaction to this story was how sad it was for someone to do this. As I read the story it became even sadder for the fact that it was done on purpose.

This Hispanic woman left her child at a bus stop in the middle of a Friday night in a big city. Let's just be so lucky and grateful that the man who found him was nice enough to sit with him for an hour to see if his mother or gardian would come claim him. However, being in such a big city, anyone could have found him: such as someone on drugs or a child molester who could have physically injured the boy, or even corrupted him. Thank God that he is in good hands now, and let's just pray that someone comes forth, or pray that the boy gets put into a good home, with people who will take care of him and love him the way he should be. Like I've said in another article, some people can't have children, so to see someone who has a child, do something like this is horrible.

I wish that people, who didn't want children, wouldn't have children. And the people who want children, could have children. It's not fair that it isn't that way. These kids grow up with parents who don't want them, and they don't get the proper needs of a child. Just remember, if you don't want your child, give them to an adoption agency, a church, or even the police station. Make sure your child is in good hands: don't leave them in the middle of a big city where anyone could find them. I wonder what the mother would think, if she saw this 3-year-old child on TV injured or worse. Would she care?
