14 year-old Girl Gives Birth and Abandons Baby in an Alley! | Chicago Med | MD TV

The male doctors really expected a 14 year old girl to sweep up that baby and go “oh my precious baby child mommy will keep you forever and ever” after she was defeated being forced to endure torturous hours of birth as a minor. Typical.

“This is a safe haven, she could have dropped him off” ??? How? She could not even physically make it.

She passed out on the sidewalk right next to the baby. There is no evidence she wasn't trying to get help or that her intention was to abandon the child. Thinking a young girl should be punished for not making the perfect decision right after giving birth in an alleyway is evil.

She’s 14, not old enough to drink, buy cigarettes or drive yet you expect her to have the mental capacity to understand childbirth and be held responsible for her actions. This society is f’d up!

These doctors blaming the 14-year-old for “abandoning” her baby are legit insane. Like, she just gave birth in an alley and was bleeding out like, ten feet away from the baby.

If she is 14 she must got pregnant when she was 13. At that age she is not capable of a consent, have legal job or anything. Someone abused that girl. THAT should be the main focus. None has the right to judge such a young girl a child in such difficult and traumatizing situation. She needs help not a prison sentence.

Thank god the female doctor was there to give the female pov. It’s really easy to judge when you don’t know how scary it must be to be a young girl literally bringing another life into the world. Not to mention all that your body goes through.

They really be blaming a 14 year old girl for ‘abandoning’ a baby, she’s 14. Was abused and forced to give birth to that baby on the alleyway, she passed out-unconscious on the sidewalk and they really think that it’s her fault for not staying with the baby. You know that these are good actors when they make you real mad and make you question things.

That was nice that he ended up helping the girl. I hope the girl was able to go live with her older sister and baby

Do like, 14-year-old children not deserve protection? Come on! SMH Just because they had a baby does not magically transform a child into an adult

An argument could be made that she actually saved her baby and protected it. She was in an alley with no one to help her and she was delirious from blood loss but she clamped the baby's cord and placed it in a backpack where it could potentially be warm instead of leaving it put to die of exposure before she passed out. She wasn't far from where her baby was, she could have been trying to get help before losing consciousness.

These male doctors are so infuriating. Why is it when a girl has a baby, even if she is a literal CHILD shes suddenly no more than being an incubator? She was 14, she was terrified, and she was bleeding to death!

As a 14 year old girl i can tell you that if i were ever in her situation i wouldn't know what to do either. A situation like this would be traumatizing what did you expect her to do?? I had no idea what a safe haven was until i read these comments. You expect a child to walk to the hospital after giving birth, bleeding out and delirious. If this happened to me i wouldn't want anything to do with the baby either, i would try and protect myself let alone not having parents or a stable home. You are evil if you think this child deserves to go to jail after experiencing this.

She's 14 the fact that shes pregnant at all is traumatizing. And she had her school bag on, no idea how far along she was. She put her baby in her bag and zipped it to try and keep it warm, she probably didn't even realize she was that close to the hospital

Only a broken justice system would charge and convict her for this. She was not in her right mind. Literally the definition of diminished capacity. They had no business even calling the police on her.

WHAT did they want her to do? literally what? she was unconscious when that man found her. she was scared, alone, and bleeding out. this is so frustrating. she was not physically able to bring the baby to the hospital so she kept him safe as best she could. if she stayed with the baby back in the alley like they clearly wanted her to she would have died.

People in the comments ignoring the fact that she had collapsed and was found almost unconscious on the side of the street... Even if she hadn't been a victim of a poor home life and trafficking, sending her to jail for not being capable of delivering and parenting a baby at age 14 is a ridiculous and malicious reaction.

That male doctor really had no empathy for the girl. 14 years old, she didnt know what to do. (Oh good lord I've started a war)

so instead of being sympathetic to a girl who was UNDERAGE and got pregnant, got scared and almost died, yet they see her as a potential threat?! For god sakes they should at least understand what she was going through as she was terrified and the doc just automatically judged her for that?!

I was 19, knew I was pregnant, and gave birth in a hospital with my friends and a friends mom there to help me, and labor was still terrifying when it actually came time to push and deliver my son. A 14 year old who has gone through all that trauma, doesn't have parents to depend on, and goes into labor not knowing that is what is happening to her would have no idea what to do. It's very likely she would just go into shock and not even realize what she is doing or what is going on around her. The lack of compassion from the male doctors is just sad to me. I know it's a show, but there are real doctors who would agree that a girl in this situation should be punished, and that is scary.
