«The unwanted pregnancy It would be avoided if there were family planning control by the State, from the home, educational institutions, particularly in those under 18 years of age, and the duty of the child’s father to comply with the maintenance obligation.

«Fortunately, the baby found himself with a chance to recover and, hopefully, with a great possibility of being loved by others and starting his life from scratch. But what about the teenage mother? How alone or badly influenced, marked, hurt, lost, could she have been to act like that?

«Adoptions in Venezuela are very difficult, very long processes. And nobody wants big children, who are difficult to mold. Coupled with the economic situation, raising a child is not easy. “Many children, few adoptive parents.”

“Legal and safe abortion.”

“How sad! Why didn’t you give him up for adoption? Why throw it away like garbage? “So many families who want to be able to have a baby and can’t.”

“The social decomposition in Venezuela is brutal.”

«Why don’t they give him up for adoption? “Problems with the authorities would be avoided and everything would end peacefully, and they will surely find a responsible family for the baby.”
