tragic but also weird that this happens so often - what's the point of anonymity if this is what ppl do?

what a load of shit. stillborn baby left on the side of the road? someone's got some explaining to do

Alex Rivera2026-06-15T05:44:22.000Z

mate, stillbirth is traumatic. maybe the mum wasn't coping. give her a break

Eva Anderson2026-06-15T05:24:22.000Z

omg that's horrible. can't imagine the pain 🙁

they said stillborn, so no foul play. just sad all round

yeah nah i get that, but still... leaving a baby on a rural road? how does that happen

Jamie Fox2026-06-15T06:17:22.000Z

bloody hell, what a world we live in. that poor baby, and that poor family

Peyton Hall2026-06-15T06:28:22.000Z

why would they just leave it there? ffs. could have at least given it a proper burial

could be someone in denial. not excusing it, but mental health is real
