The homeless adopted daughter of Major League Baseball (MLB) legend Dennis Eckersley allegedly gave birth to her baby in a freezing tent, before leading police to the wrong spot to find the infant struggling to breathe.
Police responded to a woman who gave birth to a baby in a tent in the woods near the West Side Arena in Manchester just before 1am, authorities said in a statement to Facebook.
The woman, identified as Alexandra Eckersley, 26, is said to have initially directed authorities to an area of the woods where they searched but could not locate the child.
About an hour later, police allegedly found the baby uncovered and 'struggling to breathe'

In California, this would have been completely legal and no criminal charges would be filed.

Re #1, not true. What is the point?
This young woman has been troubled for a long long time. As her adopted father says, they did everything for her that they possibly could but when she became of age that became limited. We have heard stories like hers fo years. Once they ae on drugs - often very early in their lives - it is almost impossible for them to find their way back. So sad.

I'm sorry for her and her newborn son, but they really need to reopen the mental institutions again.

Functioning schizophrenic and bipolar adults become like lambs thrown into a world of wolves. Sadly, they are odd and "unlikeable", rebellious. People tend to avoid them and their quirks. They are adults who need the help of other adults, but laws leave them independent. It makes no senses. One of my neighbors is schizophrenic and he "adjusts his meds" by himself. The outcome is seldom good. Last summer, he was on his roof trying to fix his chimney with a screw driver, taking it apart brick by brick. He spent the summer in a mental hospital and then was returned to his little house, alone. He has no chance of survival in his lonely world. One can't talk to him because he makes no sense.

Did everything possible? I bet there is one glaring exception. . .

With today's laws it it almost impossible to get a mentally ill person held for more than three days or force them to get help. Even if you do get them in a mental ward they likely will be released because of lack of funding.

The child needs to be placed in an adoption facility. No maternal rights.
If I were a judge, I would add tubal ligation to the solution.

My sister adopted two sons who turned out great and a friend adopted a mixed-race son who when an adult provided more help for her than her biological children.
. A mentally challenged nephew was in the care of the state of Ohio most of his adult life. They provided an apt. in a facility when all his needs were taken care of.

Well #10, this is one adopted child that is grateful to have been adopted with my twin sister when we were a day old. My sister decided to investigate our birth parents through Ancestry.com and DNA tests. The mother was small women who was a Mennonite, and the father was (as described by his nephew, a real piece of work who ran around a lot). I had zero interest in knowing any of this or in meeting the relatives of the birth parents, but my sister did meet them. The mother's relatives were as Amish looking as could be with the little white buns on the head, and the men with straw hats and beards. The nephew stated the father lived with his grandfather and was constantly going out and getting in trouble. He also said he was a paratrooper in WWII. I never thought of anyone but the people who raised me as my parents, and I thought by digging into the past as an insult to my parents who adopted me.

Once Alexandra became of age under the law she was on her own, even with the obvious addictions and mental issues that surround her existence. The fact that she was adopted as a child by an outstanding professional baseball player does not amount to a hill of beans.

Re the concerns with #3’s mention of her adoptive father. He made that clear. I am very much in favor or adoptions but some come with baggage that cannot be denied. Mental illnesses like bipolarity are passed down in families. Often in the same-sex offspring. When the child’s family background is unknown re genetic illnesses, things don’t always turn out well. This story could very well be an example of this.

Aww gee...same day the Obama girls get rave headlines for handing out blankets to the homeless....while vacationing in Hawaii.
Also...no mention of the biological father, if she is soooo mentally "challenged" as described, wouldn't any congress be considered "Rape"?

Activists for the mentally ill keep advocating for laws which allow people like the mother to keep living on the streets or in tents while acting like the unhinged lunatics and and committing crimes because it is "their choice". Their mental illness is their get out of jail free card. Society suffers because of this but the activists insist they are protecting the "rights" of the mentally ill. Forget the health and safety of everyone else. In this case, a new born baby almost died. The mother will surely be released and some activist group will come in and insist that she get her baby back because it is her right to have her child and you can't discriminate against the mentally ill. Lets hope that common sense prevails and that the mother never sees this child again. Hopefully another family member or another family will provide a caring home.

#12 I am adopted too hon...and very much out of The Fog. But apparently you havent heard yet that the only emotion an adoptee is allowed to have is gratitude. Not sorrow, regret, grief, anger, confusion. Just gratitude. Everything else is treated as UNgratitude by non-adoptees. Try it. Express an emotion OTHER than gratitude about losing your entire heritage and genetic mirroring not to mention full access to your Original Birth Certificate. You'll find out quick.
OH, and in order for you to have GAINED a family, YOU had to LOSE one first. Did the others?
