A child is a gift to be cherished by every parent. A gift that brings joy to single parents and married couples.

The story we published on Friday about a six-week-old baby girl abandoned in the middle of a railway line near De Wildt station in GaRankuwa, must have shocked readers.

What kind of mother would give birth to a bouncy baby girl and then dump her to be killed by a train ?

She might have reasons, but none warrants such wickedness.

Mothers should care for their children because they bond in pregnancy and endure the pain of birth.

A mother who dumps a child to be crushed to death by a moving train is a devil who has no place in society.
