Some people have no respect for life.
But would things be better if there were a national DNA database?
Very sad, why didn’t they give the baby up for adoption. Babies are a gift from God.
I always thought the Dutch were so especially human and humane. (Both my parents were from Amsterdam.) I cannot fathom a Dutchie doing such a horrendous thing.
The real responsable is society and especially the parents of the girl.
All life matters !!!
