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.
Exactly
They should be asking who impregnated her and blame him
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.
on top of the fact that she said “i knew something was wrong with my body but i figured if i ignored it it would go away” meaning she hadn’t even admitted to herself REALLY that she was pregnant
Imagine getting this pressed over a show 😂

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.
Oh, come on! She clearly tried to abandon the baby
She zipped him up into a bag.
She was delusional, confused, in lots of pain, about to pass out, and A CHILD. No child should have to deal with a situation like this and be expected to react appropriately.
Also you tell me and watch the video from 3:07 and tell me that’s someone you go is worried about the baby they were “next” and were totally “not” hiding.
she put the baby into a bag 💀
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.
Either 13 or early 14
Just because someone gets pregnant at a young age doesn't automatically mean they were abused In this day and age many young teenagers are having sex .Maybe she has a boyfriend
@@joyfadele3104 The story mentioned she could be charged with solicitation, aka a grown man sexually abused her.
I agree with your point but law is still law and it illegal to pull a baby in a bag and zipped because the baby still feel pain I think she didn’t do it one purpose but she was scary and sad or frightened but in law it illegal to do what her had done because her still young she would not know what to do so she do that because she not even have a guardian to teach her or she was super frightened and don’t know what to do.
She should get off on a temporary insanity defense
“This is a safe haven, she could have dropped him off”
??? How? She could not even physically make it.
Fr😭
Lmao, she didn't need to zip it closed into a bag.
@@Handlebrake2 what would you do in her situation though, she’s obviously terrified and traumatized
@@madelyndale lmao, just leave it out? Why would I chuck it in a bag, zip it up, and ✌️
@@Handlebrake2 when you’re in that situation where you don’t want the baby and are bleeding out you’d do anything
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.
That’s literally what these pro-lifers are doing in the comments.
Yeah, she must have been beyond in pain and distressed. While she knew what she did and what she instinctively wanted to do to a certain extent, it's understandable for her to freak out really badly if she keeps bleeding nonstop without knowing the reason nor how to stop it. I think punishing her is going to go nowhere. She had had her own punishment both by experiencing the pain and having the memory for life. She needs both physical and mental rehabilitation. And a loving caretaker.
Anger does that to people sometimes
That being said,they should punish the parents or any adult responsible for her for doing so little to help this girl. (Although I wouldn't be surprised if they're terrible parents to the 14 year old girl)
2:51 she looks like she’s pregnant
@@robertbreschard3493she was at this time
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!
She didn't even understand what Dr was saying to her at end to keep her out of jail
Fr fr
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.
She put a living breathing baby in a bag and tossed it in an ally like it was trash. Okay here is zero excuse for that. Hats why safe havens exist. She could have gone to the hospital and they would have helped her with no judgment. Helped her safely deliver help her give the baby up what ever. If she is old enough to make the choice to have unprotected sec and get pregnant and not do anything. She is old enough to do the right like.
@@Kels42 If we were talking about a sound minded adult I'd agree with you. Traumatised teenager? Different story.
"If she is old enough to make the choice to have unprotected sec and get pregnant and not do anything. She is old enough to do the right like."
The law says she's not old enough to make that decision. She's not old enough to vote. She's not old enough to drive. She's not old enough to make her own financial decisions. Most 14 year olds aren't good at dealing with long term consequences. Not because we smother them or whatever, pure neurology. And that's when they're well adjusted and raised properly.
"Thank god the female doctor was there to give the female pov"
I'm sure I'm missing something because I lack ovaries. I do have base empathy though. Not enough to see Kels point of view I guess.
@@Kels42 when i was 14 let alone 16 i didn't know what a safe haven was, it took another girl at school being pregnant for them to educate us that those exist.
I can honestly say if this was me at 14 and i had no one theres a 50/50 chance i would've done the same or dropped it off at a random persons house not knowing shat to do🧍🏼 14 is still a child for sure
If sex education actually educated teens on what sex safe is, there would a lot less of these situations happening.
Stop trying to rationalize leaving a newborn baby abandoned in a cold alley. There’s no excuse at all. Her being a traumatized teenager means nothing when you’re willing to let someone else die
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.
True
Sounds great in theory until you add something called reality. Did you not see at 3:07 when she dreadfully asked if she had seen the bag (didn’t ask if she saw the baby but rather the bag) and when the doctor replied they did she didn’t look concerned or worried about the baby but rather the fact that they found the bag.
@HAMZA JALIL Mind you... this is a tv show so not reality regardless but... most kids are more troubled with the prospect of getting in trouble than the moral implications of their actions. This is why it's impossible to test and diagnose things like borderline personality disorder in teens and children (aka; sociopathy and psychopathy). For example, as a kid you are more worried that your parents will find out and punish you for hitting your sibling over feeling guilt and shame for hurting your family member. She asked about the bag because it's easier to ask about it with the inference that she's asking about the child within the bag vs outright asking about the baby. She said she was trying to ignore everything that was happening to her, getting pregnant, being pregnant and then giving birth. Thats avoidance and it's a trauma coping mechanism and it's unsurprising for a kid on the streets with her background.
It's very realistic that a child's brain instantly would worry about getting in trouble first. Her second thought was how she messed up and she said how she's grateful that the doctors found and saved the child.
You have to remember that children's minds and even teens minds do not always think rationally especially when you add trauma and blood loss to the mix. Then think of how a kid with her background would react in a hospital given that she's all alone without support and she's been arrested by police for solicitation in the past, it's unsurprising that she'd hesitate to talk.
@@amandasnider2644 but from the looks of it the man who found her/helped her to the ER found her around the corner a ways from where she delivered and left the baby.
So she delivered the baby, placed it in the backpack, left the backpack in the alley and started heading to the ER/walking away.
If she was trying to save the baby why not take the baby with her? Why leave the backpack behind?
@@amandasnider2644 I’m sure that this being a tv show is quite obvious and was not necessary to touch on (assuming you weren’t trying to insult my intelligence) but just in case it wasn’t obvious for you…I know. Second, the issue isn’t whether she was portrayed “realistically” as to what a child would or wouldn’t do but rather a completely different discussion is at hand which you conveniently ignored. It’s great you’ve got that knowledge and mental capacity to understand the psychology of a child but I’d urge you to take that energy towards reading the comment where the actual argument is if it can be argued that she actually was saving the child. This is where you analyze the evidence and see if the narrative (of her saving the child) can be portrayed.
A) A baby is zipped closed in a black bag.
B) The mother is around the corner and approx. 20ft away.
C) The mother has disassociated with the baby by referring it to “the bag” which you’ve so kindly explained the mechanisms behind it.
D) The mother is underaged.
E) A doctor coaches her on what to say to the police because even he knows it’s wrong and he understands if she lies then it’s not wrong. If she was saving the baby why did she need to be coached on what to say?
F) The mother solicits on the streets but isn’t aware of pregnancy and her options.
I’m sure I can go further but once again how does any of the evidence show in any way the argument that she protected the baby as explained by the original comment or by your comment?
As for emotions I can understand she has a stressful situation but that doesn’t mean we excuse her actions due to her age, gender, or environment. She had ample resources, she deliberately made bad choices, and even a doctor had to coach her on what to say (which was far from the truth).
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
Her sister actually doesn’t want her and she runs away
@@wiltyner101 what happens to the baby?
Agreed. Her crimes were a product of such a traumatic and broken upbringing. It sounded like she had no education on puberty or any of that. the poor girl didn’t deserve to be punished.
@@ichigokurosaki8523 neither the sister nor the girl took the baby
The baby needs to be taken away a 14 year old kid can not take care of a baby
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?!
They had to write it that way because there had to be some kind of right/wrong situation for there to be a story line.
@@aklemon06 sadly that exact storyline plays out all too often, although it's usually not the healthcare providers jumping in on the misogynist hype train trying to toss CHILDREN in PRISON for not being taught about their bodies or where to turn in a crisis (besides a church).
@@dietotaku Hey, I get his point of view. I was in the military, which is why I can see how they have his character come off as such a tight ass. At the end of it all, he did help her, right? So he can't be all that bad. Sometimes people just need to be taken out of looking at things only at their point of view. It takes a person who cares to be willing to look at things differently, learn from the situation, and make it right at the end.
@@aklemon06 its not just a story and tv show. Actions have consequences especially in real life.
If sympathy fixed everything and so so long as it fits your subjective biases and opinions, applying your logic, why not free all criminals and remove prisons?
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
They’re teenagers
@@edgarallanpoestheblackcat6613 okay? She’s still not an adult. She literally got pregnant the year she magically turned into a teenager
@@edgarallanpoestheblackcat6613 a teenager is still a child because anyone under 18 is a child
@@edgarallanpoestheblackcat6613 14 year olds are still minors, aka children.
She isnt dumb, she tried to kill her child
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.
As a 14 year old girl you have the moral right not to never ever get in that situation. ❤️ But streaming for help telling a adolt you are pragnent ore giving birth ore just in a lot of pain and let them take you to the hospital whod be the right fing to do.
Whatever i still don't know what safe haven means and i dont care
@@christopherantonyjacob4794 then look it up. It’s where parents can put they baby in correct and stable medical or home environment without being punished by the system. For example a lot of mothers who are homeless put their babies in safe havens so they can give their child a better life. All it takes is a simple google search but with your stupid comment I can see why you didn’t do that first 😡
@@arielcrass2342 thanks for explaining xd and btw if i wanna google search for every stuff which i don't know i would be trapped in google for so many hours or more .so i don't care to search google unless i need it for myself
@@Oregonluxury of course the baby doesn't deserve to die! But its not the girls fault for getting pregnant, she didn't try to kill it. Blame the parents not the girl.
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
So why leave the backpack behind? When the doctor has the guy who brought her in take him to where she was found they run to the spot. Then they go around the corner to the alley.
She made it a fair distance from where she left the baby. Why not take the backpack with her?
By leaving the bag behind it makes it seem like she was attempting to hide the baby rather than trying to keep it warm. A random backpack in an alley is much less conspicuous than a random newborn in an alley.
@@ericaschaidt8588 again she's a child. She doesn't know what to do in that situation, a child was never PREPARED for a situation like that. She left it because she wanted to pretend it didn't happen and when she passed out and woke at the hospital she realized she couldn't run away from it and only THAN did she realize she did something bad and she felt horrible for the baby she could've harmed. But I don't think she wants to be a mother on account of being an immature CHILD but maybe she thought this was the best thing to do. She could've put him in a dumpster or just left him out in the open for anyone to see and take him, but she chose to hide him in the bag. But because she is a fictional little girl we won't know
Not to mention the fact that statistically, most teen pregnancies are caused by GROWN MEN. The doctors are treating her like a criminal instead of finding out who did this to her. They even mentioned how the girl has been in and out of foster homes… It's blatantly obvious that she was being abused.
@@Chaos_Gargoyle a 14 year old knows leaving a baby in a bag in a cold dark ally is wrong tho
@@brennathecatlover4360Not always the case when said 14 year old is delirious, bleeding, and having just given birth.
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.
She tied the umbilical cord and put the baby inside a backpack and closed that backpack…
@@yaima0901 and? she's 14, not even fully matured, during pregnancy hormones' are crazy and the pain must of been unbearable. she's a child and that's that
@@sam8629 even at 14 I really don't think your first action after giving birth should be "put the child in a backpack and zip it closed." She didn't have anyone to help her I understand that but her intent on abandoning and possibly suffocating the child was very clear. I know people who go through unwanted pregnancies abandon them all the time but so close to a hospital where baby could and would've been found and taken care of? She could have just left the bag open so the baby had a better chance at survival...
@@sam8629 i hope you feel the same way about kids taking hormones and having surgeries to change their sex at 10….
@@yaima0901 you realize full grown, perfectly mentally stable women have been driven to murdering their kids in cold blood because the effect pregnancy hormones and withdrawals from the decrease in those hormones have on their bodies, right?
Not to mention the 14 year old had NO support, NO pain medication, AND was bleeding to death. She immediately regretted her decision and asked the first doctor she saw once she was conscious if someone had found her baby, and said she was so glad he was alive.
When you're losing blood you cant think clearly, when you're panicking you cant think clearly, when you're in immense pain you cant think clearly. Its a miracle the girl was even able to clamp the cord and dress herself after all that happened to 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.
Both would have...
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.
The fact that underage girls would be arrested for men buying their bodies. Just nuts.
This is why the Nordic model works so well. It is not illegal to sell sex, only to buy it. Protecting the victims
That's not how the law works or should work. An investigation needs to be completed, and then judged. You don't get a free pass.
A broken system doesn't treat everyone the same.
@@matthewfarrell317an investigation was not necessary as she was not in her right mind and couldn’t as well as shouldn’t be charged for it.
The law in the us has never been applied to everyone equally. Not in real life or in this particular show.
@@BannanaBunny21 It's also possible she was SA'd. My sister and I were sexually assaulted several years ago by our uncle, got my sister pregnant and nearly got me pregnant as well (mind you, my sister was only a year pregnant at the time) SA can do a number on you especially when you're a vulnerable teenager
She “wasn’t in her right mind” but had the mental capacity to conceal the baby in a backpack and then zip it closed? People with a diminished mental capacity don’t attempt to hide things because, in their mind, what they did was justified. Look up Andrea Yates. That’s a textbook case of diminished mental capacity.
Additionally, the hospital not only had the right to call law enforcement, they had a responsibility to call. Medical professionals are mandated reporters. They had a legal obligation to notify law enforcement, and if they didn’t, they could be held criminally and civilly liable. They would also be stripped of their license to practice medicine.
You seem to have a lot to say in defense of the mother, but couldn’t care less about the innocent baby that was left to die in a backpack on a side walk. Thats rational 🙄
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)
At the end he did
He was worried about the baby as well and had an adrenaline rush. Regardless of the girl’s circumstances, she could have easily called 9-1-1. She ended up hurting herself and the baby.
At fourteen you do know what to do. Your having sex and you get pregnant. You have a baby. No excuse. If your doing adult acts you need to step up.
@@NicoleCzarnecki You're assuming she had a phone to use and the mindset to call WHILE giving birth. And again she's 14 with truly awful parents as role models and no one is helping her. We all know the foster system is corrupt. Being harsh to this 14 year old is just cruel and heartless, especially from another woman, do better
She left her baby to die.
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.
Geez.... you were a child too
@@sonjahonkamaki3408Not really. I was legally an adult, had my own place, and full time job. I was young, but I wasn't a child. Hadn't really been one for a long time before I had my own, tbh, but not really interested in getting into that ATM.
@@sonjahonkamaki3408 She is Almost a Adult not a kid

The doctors blaming her for “murdering” her baby was insane. I mean, who was expecting a 14 year old girl run all the way to the hospital all the way with her baby in her hands, when she’s obviously in critical condition. She’s barely even a teenager, and she has to live with being a mom.
blaming a 14 year old for having a baby and not knowing what to do with it? only in america

A 14 yr old girl who just gave birth with no assistance and out of the blue would be in full shock. They're talking about her abandoning her baby - she was in shock and STILL clamped the umbilical cord. She was trying to save that baby while dying herself. I'm glad Dr Choi came around in the end to support her, because even if she personally doesn't know if she was trying to save her kid, her instincts were. She didn't abandon the baby; she was just too weak and delirious to get to the hospital or get help.
Half the people in there comment section are disgusting and need literal help. She was bleeding out and just gave birth WITHOUT medication. so if you want to argue about this with me you have to be a woman who got pregnant under the age of 17 and gave birth with no pain medication whatsoever who didn’t give birth in a hospital
Thank you for not victim blaming.
This is one of the most disgusting comments sections I've ever read. Absolutely appalling.
@@LifeIsAHighwayIAmACarCrash I swear they’re all old men
You can't judge her. She is only 14 and already has a baby, she is just not prepared to be a mother, doesn't know what to do

At 14 you know life and death at 14 you know that a baby inside a backpack will die….
@@MacabreAfterparty did you know at 14 that leaving a baby in a backpack meant death right?
I have never EVER been more upset over a clip of the show until now- do they really think that she would know if it was a safe haven for the baby? Like sure everyone says, that all hospitals and fire stations are safe haven but do they really think a 14 yo girl would ever keep that in mind? At 14 under her circumstances, she would more than likely think of different ways to survive. And being charged w/ solicitation????? She's under the age of consent and SHE IS A PRETEEN AKA A CHILD -
I'm 21 and I wouldn't have thought of that like they said in this clip and I was like "oh yeah you're right that would have been an option, smart" though maybe I'm just dumb
As far I have noticed, people here are way to judgemental to understand what she was going through. It's so weird that all the laws seems to change for a girl with a baby, even though she is underage and was probably abused, they want her to act like an adult. She didn't even seem to know she was pregnant, she probably had no idea what was happening and definitely didn't know what to do or even if the baby was alive, I'm pretty sure she was expecting to die herself.
I’m 15 and I would’ve known it’s pretty damn obvious
@@whatsomeonesaidwastaken9216 Sadly, not every girl your age is as smart as you. :(
If a fourteen-year-old doesn't know that she's been living under a rock. Police stations fire stations hospitals adoption agencies she had a choice she did not have to try to kill her child
Love it, this girl was helped by none of the adults around her in her young life, even arrested for 'soliciting', had a baby, and she's only 14, and oh, now the adults are paying attention but it's only to punish her?
The 'punishement' for a 14 under these circumstances should be proper love and reeducation in responsibility. NOTHING will come of punitive action against a poor young girl except recidivism again and again. Put her in a loving home and nurture her. Abusers abuse. Those who are nurtured nuture. I wouldnt say that about a grown adult that may be a danger to society. For my part those people can be locked up and throw away the key, but this girl is a danger TO no one. As Abigail Adams said about her son.....(loosely quoted from memory) 'He is no mans enemy but his own!'

The fact she will never have anymore children and what she went through on the street is far enough punishment. whatever sick monster took advance of her is the one everyone should look at... I hate how real this one feels
This is the only time I’ve ever agreed with Dr. Manning. She really did the right thing by standing up for that poor girl at first I didn’t like the 14 year old girl until she started crying about how happy she was that someone found the baby then I was fine with her.
same here. She didn’t want her baby to die she just didn’t know what to do in the moment.
I hated Ethan for this. He wouldn't understand she is just 14 and has no guidance and was scared she probably thought the baby was dead
Wasn’t he in foster care himself? He gave her the authoritative orders she needed at the last minute to keep her off the records. Respect.
At 14 you know what life and death is…
@@yaima0901 At 14, you also know what money is, but that doesn't mean you have the mental capability to be responsible for it or make rational financial decisions. At 14 you're still a kid and your brain is not developed enough to think in the way that adults do. It's for this same reason that minors can't be tried as adults in court and legally have limited culpability when committing crimes. Also... considering how terrible the American education system is, most 14 year olds don't even really understand sex or pregnancy at even a basic level, let alone the consequences.
@Yaima Vazquez When you're hemorrhaging, it doesn't matter what you know or not. She was in shock and was losing a serious amount of blood. No one can be expected to think rationally in a situation like that.
Edit: and the baby wasn't crying when they found him. If he also wasn't crying at the time of birth, she very well could have thought it was dead and panicked. What 14 year old who has little to no support system is going to know what to do after just giving birth, while bleeding out, when the baby isn't crying?
@@nickmoyes7075 well you’re assuming it wasn’t crying because it fits your argument but idk and you don’t know if that was the case or not, and again I’m not saying she should know what to do I’m saying she should know what NOT to do, and what you DO know at 14 is that leaving a newborn in a backpack is a death sentence…
Dawg! It's a child bringing another child into the world. She wouldn't even know what she supposed to do. So yuh can't put d blame on d little girl. No child should ever have to go through this kind of thing. This is tough and she's traumatized by what had happened to her. We must protect our children at all cost.

Manning is someone that I can't stand with her judgemental ways. My mom would have her job if she ever talked the way she does to some parents to her. The little boy that had surrvy, Manning judge the mom without knowing what the mom was really going through just made me mad. Although Manning does have good points. The mom that was starving her unborn baby, The child that had the bone issue that made it look like she was being abused but wasn't.
I like how in the end the doctor actually tried to help her, I can’t even imagine what she’s going through at only 14
“Can you show us where you found her?”
Runs ahead of him
Who else hates that social worker
The social-worker is not evil. Just hard and cold after living in a evil word for to long.
I tho fell hate but I shod not
@@Sandra-ct1rd I never said she was evil I just hate her for how she said that the 14 year old kid could face felony charges
@@joshuacorless1233 I get that, I feel the same. If the law says that, that just a bigger problem than the social-worker saying that the law say that.
@@Sandra-ct1rd you obviously have no idea how serious felony charges are
"She just abandoned that thing"
Bruh she’s a 14 year old girl giving birth not only is that wrong but she was probably scared and didn’t know what to do.
She should had kept her legs closed
No excuse
@@FunGamerFever she passed out… her intention could’ve been to bring it to a safe place
@@keribere244 By stuffing the baby in a backpack? Come on now
@@FunGamerFeverin a cold wet filthy alleyway? Yep
Even as a guy I'm just like. Really? Jail?
The kid just had a baby, losing blood, delirious, and most likely panicking.
But in the end. Any outcome is not a good ending.
She's 14!!! 14!!!
Its obvious that she may have collapsed after the baby was born since a guy who found her is the one who brought her to the hospital!!!!
Edit: The only one who fought for her from the start is Dr. Manning. Its nice that Dr. Choi eventually showed empathy to her at the end.
But if you notice she didn’t collapse in the alley next to/near the backpack. The guy who showed the doctor where he found her led him to the spit, then they walked around the corner to the alley.
She placed the baby in the backpack, left it in the alley, then walked away until she collapsed where the guy found her. Had she at least brought the bag with her the baby would have been brought in when she was.
@@ericaschaidt8588She knew she was bleeding and probably walked away to get help. She then collapsed before she could get anyone to help.
The fucking judgement for a LITERAL CHILD giving birth. Unreal. I’m very sure that if men could get pregnant they’d just be doing this and it’d be considered “normal”, easy to judge when it’s something you will never experience
How does she get brought is, passed out from blood loss and half of the doctors are like “she clearly was thinking straight and chose to leave that baby there”?!
When I was 14, I was starting to get stressed about homework; whatever crush I had then; and deciding what show to watch at night. Most of my big stressors happened post 15.
14 is so young for most people, just wow.
I had several American girl dolls at that age. 😂
A 14 year old girl gave birth in an alley near the hospital, she clamped her own umbilical cord, begins bleeding out, faints and they believe she tried to abandon her own baby!? 🤨
What does clamped mean
@@NeelaSaunders To force down on something, particularly with something sharp. Basically saying she cut it off.
She basically admitted thats what she did. She stops and says "im glad somebody found him"
Abandoning the baby was an impulsive decision she made.
I will say this.
Even as a man, I understand. It must be terrifying to go through this, alone. Her decision to abandon it must not have been one she made lightly, she's not heartless. She was scared and had no support, and knew of no other options.
Poor kid.
The lack of empathy in this comment section is concerning.
He gave her an alibi so she would know what to say to the cops.
He told her to lie to the police bc they would prosecute a little girl for the failure of her state to care for, educate, and protect her
how did the state fail? she ran away or got kicked out of every foster home, school is a legal requirement so its on her if she didnt go, and she wasnt protected because she refused to be fostered. id argue that shes makes stupid choices without thinking about consequences, which isnt the states fault. then again its a tv show so it doesnt matter
@@Scotty-vs4lfHow about you rewatch the video?
@@ebisukurosuki8673 i just restated everything they said in the video... maybe you should rewatch or at least tell me how u think im wrong
@@Scotty-vs4lf foster care is a crapshoot for one. It shouldn’t be worse than the parents the state is supposed to be protecting kids from but it is
@@Meanie74 foster care isnt ideal obviously but it's definitely better than living with her parents
Prison should not be in the conversation. After finding out her backstory, they should have only been speaking of rehabilitation. The fact that it wasn’t even an option is partially why recidivism is so strong. The child needs help.
No 14 year old girl should ever be forced into motherhood. Ever.
Instead of blaming the adults for not doing their jobs and giving her the psychological treatment she needed. They want to punish her for the shortcomings of the system and adults that operate in it. It’s a tv show. But don’t be surprised, that this lack of accountability and a broken system that punishes children and not the adults, it actually exists in the USA.
In these situations people are so quick to say “ hospitals are safe places you can drop your kid off” after the fact, but as a teenager I am positive this is not as widespread knowledge as it should be, especially among teens. Nobody thinks to tell a 14 year old girl that, and she made it sound like she didn’t even realize she was pregnant
I am so happy that male doctor helped her by telling her what to say. I am a mother myself and I hate what she had to go through
I’m a mother for two children a girl at 14 should not be going to jail for hiding a baby it’s not her fault like I would let the kid be she has a life to live not take care a child she knows about child support all that bills ☹️ 😓 she can’t even provide mlik
@@S-L-E-E-P-Y-J-E-J-JBIGGESTFAN I know right?! They should do something about that
This just go to show that doctors are here for you no matter what they try they’re best
Not much sympathy going around for this girl, which is strange considering she’s a baby who had a baby... 💔
I wasnt considered baby when i was 14 so your point
@@christopherantonyjacob4794 14 is SUPER young. How old are you? If you're a full adult you should also see that 14 year olds are CHILDREN. When they say she's a baby having a a baby they're refferring to her as a child having a child. She's barely a teen. The point is that she's a literal child having a child.
@@Enya_artist well i hit puberty when i was 11 and did adult stuffs you know what i mean by that
Plus i never felt super young when i got beaten by old people since i was 4 and held accountable for every mistake i do
Yup. Pro lifers logic. Its disgusting
@@christopherantonyjacob4794which is wrong you should have been treated as a child at that age
She's 14. There was no evidence that she wasn't trying to protect her baby. What a difficult choice, and an even more difficult outcome.
Imagine having nobody at 14 and being pregnant scared lost don't know what to do because nobody I'd there
People actually mad at the doctors here 😂😂 if this was real life the kid would be punished. Shes lucky the male doc saved her ass at the end
Love the beginning when they only ask about the baby while she was literally DYING! common sense to check where she last was if they really wanted to know and would have police searching too.
They didn't seem that concerned about her throughout this. One lady doctor was the only one who really cared.
It's like they don't even acknowledge that she's just a child herself! This disgusting episode reminds me of other cases, real cases where similar has happened. No care for the child only the baby. "Oh you're 11?! Welp you've lived long enough! the babies life is more important!"
That's society for ya! If you have the ability to get pregnant, you're not seen as a full person in some people's eyes! You're just breeding stock to them!
Fr! Istg, emotions are a goddamn obstacle to logic. People care about only the baby and NEVER the mother, no matter what she goes through...
@@arundhatis6042 no it's the emotions and logic that are heavily lacking. People lack empathy and intelligence these days.
There you go; he gives her the support in an unrecognizable way, forever! And there must be backstories to both of the doctors.
Note she still didn’t throw him in a dumpster….
No empathy for a young girl having to go through pregnancy and labor by herself 😒

She looks passed out from blood loss. How on earth could a 14 year old in this condition "abandon a baby".
Did the dad not "Abandon" the child too? Is he getting charged as well then hmmmmm????

@@robertbreschard3493 this is highlighted!!?? i don’t even know what is being said???!
Anyone blaming this 14 year old are obviously pro birthers.
The shame on Choi's face when Manning confronted him over the police was perfect. He's a good doctor but by god he never thinks about his patients' circumstances
Can not believe that they are trying to get her in trouble for this she had to do what was best she was nearly dying from giving birth and they call the cops on her for leaving her baby she's 14 years old and still a kid she might of had sex but no one ever asks if she abused by someone that might of caused her to get pregnant things like that happen to kids/teens like her age some people make sick 😡😡
Whoever caused her to be in that situation should be in prison, not her.
Y'know seeing these pro lifes judging the 14-year-old saying "that's no excuse", or "she killed a already alive newborn baby", "abandoning the baby", blah blah blah-ya'll literally victim blaming her, saying that she knows what she's doing. Like, imagine a kid or minor coming to the hospital bleeding profusely and out of her mind, delirious from wtf she had to go through. You expect her to just keep the newborn when she's just a kid (it doesn't matter whether she's a minor or not) and say it's all her fault, you can say what you want, but THAT is a 14 year old (still young) who got scarred for life after giving birth after being abused with no one else to support her! (I'm sorry but reading some of these comments saying she had no excuse or know what she's doing, sickens me)
They just expect that a 14 year old girl to take care of a baby at 14?!!! no she cant be a mother she is still a kid that baby needs to be adopted
They weren't expecting her to raise the baby. What they are upset about is the fact that the baby was left in the alleyway when hospitals have safe haven surrender laws.
How is it abandonment when the baby was found like 30 feet away from her and she had colapesed from blood loss. The girl was probably walking to the hospitals and lost the strength to carry the baby.
The last Scene, showing Ethan's remorse on Erika helping her not to be Arrested makes me feel Happy, cuz like in the Beggining he was judging her for possibly Abandoning her Child in the Alley, but now knowing that the Cops were coming to arrest Erika, he felt Remorse for judging her, what i Like in this Show is that they can Make the Characters a lot Human and create Great very short Arcs for them to Evolve as Doctors and as People
Its entirely possible she wasn't thinking straight and thought "put it in the backpack to take it to the hospital" and went into the alley because she didn't realize she was going into labor and didn't want people to see her writhe in pain
She bleeding to death too. By the time she got there she didn’t even have the strength to speak. What makes them think she could’ve carried a baby that far??
@@yamato6114 I don't think she even knew she was pregnant
people expect motherhood of women and GIRLS as soon as they know they have a baby, whether thats 6 weeks into a pregnancy or only upon giving birth and its terrible. not everybody is equipped physically or emotionally to be a parent, especially not a 14 year old child. expecting her to be respinsible instead of expecting her to react like a child is unrealistic, especially with the amount of sex education shes probably had (not everyone knows what a safe haven is or that they exist at all) and it seems like she didnt know she was even pregnant until she literally gave birth (not everyone shows very much or at all) and on top of everything she was definitely delirious from pain (giving birth without pain meds or assistance or support at such a young age with such a small body??) and blood loss. cutting her some slack would be an understatement to what she deserves.
Man, Ethan has always been my least favorite character. Such a judgemental dick. That's a horrible trait for anyone, especially for a doctor
And in season two when two fighters go to the ED with one being jewish, he inmediatly felt disgusted with the fighter
@Nicolás Diez why are you lying?
He was abandoned by his father, so I'd imagine abandoning a baby is personal to him.
And Maddie cares too damn much.
I disagree
Same I hate him with a passion
This was quite realistic. There are women who have been prosecuted for poor pregnancy outcomes. She came around & wanted her child saved afterwards but it is quite possible in the moment due to pain, shock, & blood loss she didn’t care what happened to the baby.
Me watching this as a 14 year old
Imagine giving birth while drunk, you can’t see or think properly that’s what blood loss does to you so can we stop blaming a minor
I have not seen the episode only this clip so I don't know the full story. Maybe what happened between her and the baby's father was not consensual. It shocked me when that doctor tries to help her at the end.
I've watched a lot of clips of Chicago Med recently, and I have come to expect Dr. Choi to be super judgey of the patients that come in. So I wasn't surprised that he was taking a hard stance saying the 14-year-old girl needed to be punished, but I was quite shocked to see him soften at the end of this clip and tell her what to say to make the situation sound better.
She is 14 how would she have physically made it to the door without any parental help herself
If that baby hadn't been in that alley you'd all be treating her like another runaway on drugs.
This is going to become much more common in the next couple of years.

Brain is not through growing until 25
No amount of terror justifies killing an infant. Girls should be taught to keep their legs closed to avoid situations like this.
And no amount of woman will you love unconditionally and rather jump on the truck and than saying yes to your engagement ring
This poor young girl was left behind and left alone. No body cares about her so she doesn't know what love is. It's not her fault. She's just a child.
For those of you who haven't watched the full episode, when this girl found out the police were on their way, she bolted. By the time the police got there, she was long gone.
Maybe she was trying to get to the hospital, maybe she wasn't trying to hurt that baby, we don't know. But what we do know is that in the end, she abandoned her baby to save herself.
It’s awesome the the random guy 1) saw the girl and immediately brought her to the hospital and 2) stayed around outside of the hospital, possibly because he wanted to make sure she ended up okay, and 3) helped them find the baby without asking too many questions. He immediately started running with the doctor and was 100% into helping him find whatever he was looking for without even knowing what it was. Gotta love a Good Samaritan. ❤❤❤❤ If it was someone else, they sadly may have just left her there. It awful that things like that happen today. Though it’s obviously fictional, it makes me so happy to see complete strangers show such kindness to others. I mean, all he asked was if she was doing okay and if she made it, and not for any kind of compensation or reward of any kind. ❤❤ ❤❤
Maggie be like:
"GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE"😂
even grown women get postpartum psychosis, imagine this poor 14 year old girl :/
The social worker sounds about 30 years outdated, criminalizing a young teen for abandoning her baby without evidence and criminalizing prostitutes. As a youth counselor, our job was to help young prostitutes escape, gain safety and their future liberation. It's so insane how damaged people have been in the recent past to think abusing abused people makes any sense.
I think people in here don't actually realize she's only 14 years old. Sure, from an outside perspective it's a tragedy, but keep in mind that her body went through a full pregnancy at an age girls should never be getting pregnant. I can only imagine the unbearable pain she was subjected to and the amount of blood loss. On top of that, she was most likely delirious and 100% wasn't thinking straight. Yeah, she left him in a bag, but when you're a traumatized 14-year-old who quite literally has no one to go to except a sister who is barely in the picture, no one would ever be ready for what she went through.
It's easy to place judgement on others when your an outsider. No one but the girl knew her circumstances. I have read books with characters in this situation. One girl ended up going to jail despite the fact it was her mother who abandon the child.
The other one ended up punishing herself because she repeated her mom's mistake. She decided to let herself die.
Before anyone asks I read these books over fifteen years ago so I don't remember the titles.
Ok listen she clamped the umbilical cord. Was probably messed up after experiencing probably the worst pain a human can have and also this wasn’t mentioned but who said she wasn’t trying to get her baby help? This is ridiculous!
I hate when teen mothers are berated for quote on quote abandoning their child. Imagine being 14, still a child, and giving birth to another living thing. And the thing is, she probably knew but didn’t wanna accept it because of the circumstances. For any doctors who judge literal CHILDREN for abandoning a baby they either didn’t mean to have or were forced to have through SA, you need a reality check.
Honestly the bag might’ve been to keep the baby warm, without being there we can’t tell what her plan was
I am so thankful that I live in France with actual sane people that consider women living beings and not incubators and baby machines.
