Pretty wild! All states give you at least 30 days to dump your baby, no strings attached. Some states give you 60 days!

I feel like more people should know about this! It seems like a highly under utilized ability.

    As long as we are doing hypothetical, he may have been working long hours to pay for all the costs while she was stay at home. When she died, working all the time and trying to care for kids and grieving is going to be massively stressful. Bot to mention the aunt for 7 of the kids decided to have a custody battle so lots and lots of possible things leading to being overwhelmed.

    But you clearly assume he is a deadbeat because he’s a man. Have fun with that.

        Because he didn’t do Jack raising them probably

        Would you have assumed the sameblack of parenting if the father had died and the mother dropped off the kids?

          I don’t think there is enough background story to think the mother would have been a much better parent, giving up ALL children

            The fact that you can claim you need more information if it was a gender reversal, is exactly what they were pointing out.

              Not exactly. They’re basically saying that both genders would be bad parents by default unless there was evidence of a compelling reason to think otherwise.
