Police Say Family Schemed to Dump Baby
 
A cab driver who made headlines this week when he claimed that a passenger had abandoned a baby in his car was arrested Saturday and charged with making up the tale.
Police said the driver, Klever Sailema, was part of a scheme by an overwhelmed Bronx family to abandon the child, who had been born to a 14-year-old girl.

The family's ill-conceived plot to turn the child over the city collapsed late Friday night and several people were under arrest early Saturday.

Geez. Why couldn't the family just take the baby to a fire station themselves? Isn't there a no-questions asked law or something that is out there to prevent people from trying to do harm to the baby (like put it in a dumpster or something?)

Yes there is but IIRC the baby was now to old for the law.

Why is a 14 year old having a baby with a man twice her age?

Such a bad situation all the way around.
