You can't hide three things: the Sun, the Moon and the truth. But you sure can hide a comment.

Nobody knows how the situation happened. Maybe the pregnancy was not her choice. That was a long time ago. Things have changed so much since then. Things are talked about more now. Back them SAs were swept under the rug and not talked about. The nurse did what she could for HER patient. The parents were trying to make a decision that wasn't there's to make.

James Galyer

Really risky decision making by the nurse, overstepping any number of professional / legal boundaries. Although well meaning actions like these would easily lead to her being struck off. Not least because she is blatantly doing what social workers are paid for, and the two occupational groups have a long history of mutual antipathy and rivalry. What a way to sabotage your own career when all she needed to do after the baby's birth was to report it to social services

It was also a very different time back then.

James Galyer

SHE DIDN'T STEAL THE BABY, AND SELL IT TO SOME CANNIBALS. SHE HELPED A YOUNG, UNSURE, WOMAN/CHILD DEAL WITH AND UNDERSTAND HER OPTIONS. SOME PEOPLE THINK OF OTHERS, FIRST. WHY LOOK FOR THE "WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED" WHEN THE WHAT "DID HAPPEN" WORKED OUT FINE?

This is so personal that we just can't show it to you.

Is this really an appropriate place to put this? Really?! I don't think so! What if this was your mother?

SAMUEL LEE KEEPS POPPING UP. I HAVE NOW BLOCED HIM 9 DIFFERENT TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED HIM ALSO. BS KEEP SAYING THAT THEY ARE "TRYING", BUT IT IS THEIR WEBSITE, AND THEY COULD BAN HIM, BUT THE HAVEN'T YET. BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. MAYBE HE PAYS THEM FOR ADVERTISING ON THIS SITE. HE STILL SHOWS UP ON MY PAGE, AND I JUST BLOCKED HIM AGAIN, #10.

Reported

HASN'T HELPED YET

No but I'm going to continue every time I see his spam

Rad

ME TOO. I report and block him at least once a day. Sometimes more. I think that he keeps making new accounts, because sometimes the name is a little different, like it's JUST LEE, OR JUST SAMUEL, but the scam is identical.

Rad

I've noticed that too

Rad

BRIGHT SIDE KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT, BUT EVERY OTHER PERSON I HAVE BLOCKED, STAYS BLOCKED. THE SCAMMERS KEEP GETTING THROUGH, THOUGH.

ALL BLESSINGS HER WAY..AMEEN.

Kate Wilson

Having baby at 15 is crazy for me, but well I guess it's ok for some people.

Kate Wilson

seems like its totally accepted by everyone else

Kate Wilson

FOR YOU, NOT FOR EVERYONE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW/WHY SHE GOT PREGNANT. MORE WOMEN HAVE THEIR RAPISTS BABIES THAN YOU WILL EVER HEAR ABOUT, THANKS TO THE IGNORANT, SELF RIGHTEOUS, HOLIER THAN THOU, HIPPOCRITIC ASSHOLES THAT WANT TO TELL EVERYONE ELSE HOW TO LIVE. YOU DON'T SEE THEIR SORRY ASSES HELPING THE WOMEN WHO ARE FORCED TO GIVE BIRTH, FOR ANY REASON.

Hannah

I thought the baby was you.

This is abuse of power. A nurse doesn’t get to decide who keeps a child. She had no right to make that call

Don Donovan

What a C U Next Tuesday you are

Don Donovan

ahahahahahha, get your facts straight

why are you so mad? Because it wasn't you? Sorry if you lost your child but you should be happy one was saved!!

She didn't make the decision she helped a young woman keep her child. And you agree with shaming people because it's what, more destructive, abusive, degrading, what?! The parents didn't seem to do a very good job in educating their children so it's okay for them to make a unilateral decision that will affect the rest of THEIR LIVES because the parents don't want to feel shamed?! Maybe they should have done better parenting before the pregnancy because the young woman seemed to have handled it rather well with the ASSISTANCE of the this kind nurse who seemed to care more about both the young woman and her child than the parents did!

This comment is beautiful but so out of place.

NEITHER DID THE GIRL'S PARENTS, BUT FUNNILY ENOUGH, YOU DON'T MENTION THAT! THIS NURSE SAVED A CHILD, WHAT HAVE YOU SAVED LATELY?

You had your baby at 15? What type of education did you get? Just curious

what does it matter to you? At least she got an education and was able to raise her child on her own without help!!

I'm sure she ruined her life.

YOU ARE NOT "SURE" OF ANYTHING. YOU JUST PROJECT AND BELITTLE BECAUSE YOU ARE MISSING SOMETHING IN YOUR OWN LIFE.

What kind of education did you get? What difference does it make?! She got to keep her child!!! Get your priorities straight. If you can by on minimum wage but you have your family and you are content and you have love then you have everything!

BETTER THAN THE ONE YOU GOT. YOU SEEM TO NLAME EVERYONE ELSE, FOR LIFE HAPPENING. ARE YOU MAYBE A BIT JEALOUS?

Savannah

All nurses are heroes. So much love and strength to them.

Savannah

Your mother was a true hero! I hope she lived more than 55, I am sure she would have done so much more good in the world

Savannah

If you think that lying to a woman who just gave birth, in a an operation room that her child didn't make it is heroism... .then you got it all twisted sis

save your comment!! You obviously don't understand why she did what she did!!

Did you actually read the entire article? I think you are very unhappy and I think you should probably do something about that.

BEING AN ASSHOLE IS WHAT MAKES SLOANE HAPPY.

SHE LIED FOR A FEW DAYS, TO SAVE A CHILD, AND PROTECT THE MOTHER. THAT WAS A LOT BETTER THAN BEING FORCED TO GIVE HER CHILD AWAY. THE NURSE GAVE HER MUCH NEEDED TIME, AND A RESOURCE. YOU WOULD JUST THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER.

My wife had three miscarriages in two years. After the third she told me she wanted to stop trying. I agreed. Then she stopped sleeping. Stopped laughing. Stopped being her.
One night I found her in the nursery we’d never used, sitting on the floor holding baby shoes she’d bought after the first pregnancy. I sat down and said nothing. After a long time she said, “I keep buying things for someone who never comes.” I took the shoes and put them on the shelf. I said, “Then we’ll keep them until they get here.”
We adopted our daughter eight months later. First thing I did was put those shoes on her feet. They fit perfectly. My wife held her foot and said, “They were always yours.” Like our daughter had been coming all along and just took a different route.

Sometimes you have to find a different way to get what you want apparently your daughter was the one supposed to wear them

My mom stopped cooking after my dad died. House went dark for eight months. I stopped trying to fix her and just showed up and cooked in her kitchen without asking. Didn’t talk to her. Left the food on the stove. Next day the pot was empty.
I came back and cooked again. Same silence. Same empty pot. Did this for three months.
One evening I heard a chair scrape behind me. She sat at the kitchen table. A week later she handed me a knife and said, “You’re cutting those too thick.”
She didn’t need motivation. She needed someone to fill her kitchen with noise without asking her to join in until she was ready.

Hannah

Your love and patience had brought her back to life. You're a good child

A firefighter pulled my husband from a car wreck. Saved his life. My husband spent two years afterward refusing to drive, refusing to leave the house, refusing to live.
The firefighter showed up at our door on the anniversary. I didn’t call him. He found our address from the report. He said to my husband, “I didn’t pull you out of that car so you could die in this house.”
My husband slammed the door. The firefighter came back the next week. And the next. On the fourth visit my husband opened the door and said, “Fine. Where are we going?”
They drove around the block. That was it. One block. My husband drove to work the following Monday.
The firefighter still checks in every month. My husband says, “He saved me twice. Once from the car. Once from myself.”

What a crock. These fake stories sicken me.

My daughter saved her lunch money for a year. I thought she was buying something for herself.
On Mother’s Day she handed me an envelope. Inside was a ticket to a concert I’d mentioned wanting to see once. Once. In passing.
She said, “You said it while doing dishes. You didn’t think I heard.” She ate half lunches for a year because her mother said one sentence while holding a sponge. She was twelve.
I didn’t go to that concert. I went to the one after it. Because by then she’d saved enough for herself to come too. Best night of my life wasn’t the music. It was sitting next to a kid who listened harder than anyone I’ve ever known.

Maryjane

What exactly is half a lunch? Couldn't she just pack a lunch? Also when you buy a ticket most places don't let you hold on to a ticket and use it for the next show. A lot of this story makes no sense. Just saying

My daughter’s guitar teacher was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She stopped teaching. Stopped answering calls. Her studio went dark.
My daughter, who’s eleven, walked to her house every Saturday and played guitar on the porch. She could hear it. My daughter played every piece she’d been taught, mistakes and all. Did this for three months.
One Saturday the front door opened. The teacher sat on the porch and said, “You’re still playing that B-flat wrong.” My daughter said, “I know. I was waiting for you to fix it.”
She taught for six more months before she passed. Her last student was the one who refused to let the music stop.

I’m sure the best last months of her life- living

I’m a teacher and a student handed in a poem for an assignment. It was one line: “I wrote a whole page but erased it because nobody listens anyway.” I wrote back: “I’m listening. Write it again.” He did.
It was about his dad leaving and his mom working so much he basically raised himself at thirteen. I read it three times. Then I framed it and hung it in my classroom.
He walked in the next day and saw it on the wall. He stood there staring for a long time. He said, “You put it up?” I said, “It’s the best thing anyone’s turned in this year.”
He’s a journalist now. His first published article, he sent me a copy. He’d circled the bio at the bottom. It said, “For Mrs. Davis, who hung my words on a wall when I thought they belonged in a trash can.”

Encouragement is very important especially to a child who doesn't feel seen. ❤️‍🩹

I’m a vet and a woman brought in a cat she’d found in a dumpster. The cat was feral, aggressive, terrified. Bit everyone who touched it. Cost a fortune to treat. The woman wasn’t rich.
I said, “This cat may never be friendly. You know that, right?” She said, “I wasn’t friendly either when someone pulled me out of a bad situation. Took me years.” She took the cat home. It hid under her bed for four months.
Then one morning she woke up and it was sleeping on her pillow. She sent me a photo with one line: “Four months. Worth it.”
That photo is on my clinic wall. Under it I wrote, “Some patients just need longer.” Every client who considers giving up on a difficult animal sees it. Most of them stay.

My grandfather stopped leaving his house after my grandmother died. Two years. Wouldn’t step outside. I tried reasoning. My mom tried guilt. Nothing.
Then my five-year-old knocked on his door and said, “Grandpa, there’s a butterfly outside and you’re missing it.” He stepped out. First time in two years. She grabbed his hand and walked him to the garden. He stood in the sun blinking like he’d forgotten what it felt like.
We’d all been giving him reasons to live. She gave him a reason to go outside. That was enough to start.

A teenage girl in my class stopped turning in work. Hood up, back row, gone.
I slid a note on her desk: “You don’t have to talk. But I see you.” She crumpled it. Next day: “Still see you.” Crumpled. Third day: “Not going anywhere.” She put that one in her pocket.
A week later she stayed after class and said, “My brother died last month and nobody at this school even asked.” She sat in my classroom every day for the rest of the year. She passed every class.
Her mom emailed me in June: “She carries three crumpled notes in her wallet everywhere she goes.”
