Re: baby in the field
I am not surprised one bit. Okay just a little because she is only fifteen and that is such a naive age - some guy could have easily taken advantage of her and now her life is more likely than not ruined! Plus, I feel for the four elder unmarried sisters and that baby.
I am just thinking she must have known perfectly well what the consequences of her actions were going to be, i.e. the baby was not going to be welcomed with open arms and literally dumped in the field.
What I would like to know is whether this was due to a rape or done with full consent?
