| A baby who was found dumped in the street in a Walmart plastic bag last week has now been released from hospital, as authorities continue to search for her family. The newborn, named Chloe by hospital staff in Houston, Texas, is now a week old and even has her first tooth - which she showed off to photographers as she smiled for cameras on Monday. She was found outside an apartment complex on Tuesday last week after a woman´s dog picked up on a scent and led her to a bag, where she made the startling discovery.

Angels were surely watching over this tiny girl! She is absolutely precious.

Mom 0, Dog 1. Good doggie. Not quite sure here, as much as I like the dog story and human survival story, something doesn´t quite smell right. A tooth already? I guess my 2 month old grandson needs to step up his game.

I´ll bet there have been hundreds of calls from people who want to adopt her.
I don´t understand anyone dumping a baby anywhere but a church or a hospital. Or even a police station. Just tell them you can´t care for the child and they set the gears in motion with no charges against you. Everyone would rather that than to have a baby dumped out in the elements and at risk.

Don´t judge the mother too harshly. I am thinking maybe some frightened young kid of 13 or 14 who didn´t have a clue what to do. She was probably unaware at that age of her options and probably had no way of getting to a drop off place anyway. Maybe she was afraid of what her parents would do to her if they knew she was pregnant. I personally know a girl who stayed home from school one day because she thought she had a stomach bug only to give birth to a full term baby boy. Neither she nor her mother knew she was pregnant. They laugh about it now (6 years later) because the first responders didn´t know who to put in the ambulance, the new mother or the new grandmother.

Why are people automatically assuming the MOTHER dumped her there? Is there no reason to think a boyfriend or even a parent, may not have left the baby?
I don´t know about the rest of you, but I wasn´t in any shape to go outside and dump a baby after giving birth to any of my kids.

What a lovely child. Find a responsible two-parent family to bring this child up.
What scares me is if the authorities do find the mother, the social workers will go to work and convince her to keep the baby. It happened here in Denver a few years back with a baby who was dumped at the back door of a chinese restaurant.

About the tooth: the article did mention that it was a genetic trait that might help to locate the parent or parents, or at least make some connections in past such births with teeth. Also, the Texas program for taking in the abandoned if the person can´t support it is only known to people who have been semi-educated and can read a simple news story....or even search on line for best ways to abandon the unwanted baby. One of the people involved should have known such a program exists, but only a week or so ago I read of a 12 year old who delivered the baby herself, used scissors etc and did not want her parents to know. Go figure the mind of a desperate person.

As far as I am concerned. Mark Sanford’s win over Curtis Bostic in South Carolina’s First Congressional District GOP runoff represents an unanswered prayer. Sanford continues to combine his mastery of therapeutic psychobabble with an ill-fitting Christian overlay that should be a dead giveaway, as Sanford himself all but acknowledged last night. Sanford is, of course, on a journey of discovery — make that a very long journey, involving the false modesty of the royal we: “It’s been a very long journey. And in that journey I am humbled to find ourselves where we find ourselves

Ben Carson, the noted pediatric neurosurgeon, has become the target of a petition by Johns Hopkins students who want him removed as the medical school’s commencement speaker this spring. Dr. Carson became a media sensation in January when he questioned Obamacare and progressive taxation in a speech to the National Prayer Breakfast as President Obama sat just a few feet away from him. With his new prominence, Carson has apparently also riled some liberals, including these Johns Hopkins students.

According to new data released by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 19.7 million new venereal infections in the United States in 2008, bringing the total number of existing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the U.S. at that time to 110,197,000.

In fact, of the 19,738,800 total new STIs in the United States in 2008, 9,782,650 were among Americans in the 15-to-24 age bracket.

Of all the arguments public-school advocates have used to hoodwink generations of parents into condemning their own children to years of state-controlled subservience training, one of the most successful is that without public schools, children cannot be properly "socialized," and will therefore be ill-prepared for life in the "real world." [Snip] The basic premise of the argument for public schools as necessary tools of socialization is that learning to get along, or fit in, with children one´s own age is a vital life skill. Is it?

The mysterious disappearance of about 30 dogs in southern Idaho has baffled animal control officials and raised concerns among dog lovers after a German shepherd was found with its head crushed in a suspected ritual killing. The missing canines range widely in size, breed and age. "The dogs seem to vanish into thin air," said Debbie Blackwood, director of the animal shelter in Twin Falls, Idaho. Officials say some 30 dogs have gone missing in recent months in Twin Falls and nearby communities in an agricultural region in south-central Idaho known as the Magic Valley.

Not since 1984 and the landslide victory of Ronald Reagan have the Republicans had a more winnable election than the 2012 presidential election. Yet the Republican Establishment managed to lose to the worst and most vulnerable President in modern history, with historically poor approval ratings, unemployment averaging over 8.7% during his entire first term, a stagnant economy and someone who ran the smallest and most absurd of all possible re-election campaigns.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
