Infant hidden by teen mom found alive

At the risk of being yelled and cussed out I have to say that I worked with this girl for two and a half years. This is so not like her. She was extremely close to her mom and then she found out she was dying and lost her in less than a year. She has been extremely depressed and not functioning the way a normal person does. The mom in me cries for that baby and hopes she (Lauren) gets what she deserves. The mom in me also cries for her and her entire family and prays that they get her the help she needs.

Why is the baby in foster care? Did she not have any family??? Or is the whole family rejecting it like she did?

Her mother is deceased, her sister is off at college and she lives with her father, so the baby is in foster care out of town.

The trial has taken place and the mother had to sign over her parental rights. Also, the mother received 10 years probation and a fine. I do not know the amount of the fine. The child is now in the custody of the mother's aunt and uncle in Missouri. The mother has gone through a complete psychological change. She has been through counseling and is truly a changed person. She has realized her mistakes and is truly sorry for the things she did. Up until the child was taken away, she went and visited the infant on a regular basis religiously. She never missed a day and always stayed as long as she could. She's heart-broken over the fact that her daughter has been taken away, but she understands and accepts her punishment. I just hope everybody will understand that this young woman has truly changed. She has accepted her punishment and is on the road to recovery and living a regular life again.

when this happened she stated she did not know she was pregnant and many people came down her hard about that. I just recently saw a complete documentary on women who went through full term pregnancies and did not know they were pregnant. It happens. Glad the girl has had counseling and is doing better. Equally glad the baby survived and is in capable hands.
