Baby Catherine...?

Will Maurice Jacobson offering to buy the mother of Baby Catherine a home if she comes forward an incentive for other mothers to abandon their baby, then come forward when the reward is at a suitable level?

"The mother of abandoned baby Catherine has been pledged the biggest incentive yet if she comes forward — a $300,000 home.

Maurice Jacobson said he will buy the mother an apartment wherever she wants it, according to newspaper reports."

(from NineMSN News)

I'm not saying this is the reason that the mother in question abandoned her child, but it could encourage some less scrupulous people...

    If a parent (mother or father) would abandon their children in the hope of getting money to spend on themselves, the kids are better off without them.

    And yes, I really do mean that.

    Yes I thought that to but his heart is in the right place also if she was that desperate for money she just would have got the $5000 baby bonus and then dumped her so maybe she did try and do the right thing by her baby.
