I see the program crushing machine is working as intended.
Carry on

Doesn’t officially exist on paper? Check.
-
Computer generated code name? Check.
Sounds like an opportunity to train a future international assassin ninja.

Real strong Trailer Park Boys vibes here.
Really? Did you read the article? The only trashy thing here is the abandoning birth mother and the weird computer generated false name.
The rest of this is a father just trying to get the documents he needs to get his daughter care while he gets the run around from two different state governments.
Not saying what she did was okay at all, but postpartum depression affects 17% of mothers worldwide. Even in developed countries, less than half have the privilege of getting diagnosed. It is severely under-recognized and often goes untreated.
Not to mention that not every pregnancy is wanted and not every mother has the resources, support, or even the human right to follow through with an abortion.
Combine these two and you get woefully unprepared mothers who just went through the most excruciating experience in her life and is still expected to smile at the sight of her newborn. Ever heard of a perineal tear? It’s exactly what it sounds like and it affects 90% of first time mothers. And that’s only a fraction of the pain involved in childbirth. It’s kind of disgusting how women are expected to gracefully hide one of the most traumatic experiences in their life and package it neatly into social expectations of motherhood.
Also drug problems will create unfit mothers who lose their judgement, probably. Like probably in this case.
Reminds me of the stories you hear from Korea where the system won’t allow for single parents because if you become widowed you are expected to put your children up for adoption. Apparently people cannot get services for their children because the forms won’t be accepted without both parents being listed.
