A 19-year-old mother has been charged with dumping her 3-week-old daughter along a rural road for 12 hours and lying to police about the baby's whereabouts, prompting an Amber Alert.
Meaker told a judge during a Friday court appearance that she had no job and no income, and said nothing else.
Bond was set at $100,000 Friday for Kendra Meaker of Toulon, who was charged in Stark County Court with obstruction of justice and endangering the life or health of a child.

This is a terrible news story. There is no excuse for abandoning a helpless three week old baby. It is especially sad that the mother tried to cover it up and lied about what happened. There are so many people in the world that would love a child, it is sad when someone has a baby and doesn't care for it.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible. This lady must have mental problems because to abandon a baby is just wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis is disturbing. She could of given it up for adoption not left it on the side of a road!
