@ksatnews: Jennifer Benavides was just waiting on her bus downtown Sunday night when a young woman asked to borrow her phone. Then came the question she never expected: "Do you want him?" The woman started handing over her one-month-old son, along with his birth certificate, Medicaid card and Social Security card. Benavidez says she tried to get the mom help before police were called, and then she started worrying she'd be the one in trouble. KSAT's Katrina Webber talked with Benavides about what happened next, who ended up in jail, and where that baby boy is now. Watch the full story on ksat.com
At least she had sense enough to give away and not kill it. Now you want to punish her she’s a little girl too .

i don’t understand .. that is a blessing that she gave the baby to someone .. whatever she was going through… she found help … the baby is not lifeless or just left to pass away… she found help… so now let’s say she didn’t find help and decided to leave the baby somewhere to pass.. then what would social media say …. why didn’t she find help or give the baby away … the baby is safe

Why didn’t anybody drop them off at the fire department? They take babies that young what the heck is going on? We would rather this young mother go to jail then to let her drop him off at the fire department?

She said all the resources we have a lot of times though they don’t help sometimes the resources you have to go through all these loops in order to get the help and then sometimes it’s not helpful. Like I understand where people saying that it’s wrong however she gave somebody the baby and didn’t hurt the baby maybe she didn’t go about it the right way but we never know what somebody’s going through and at least the baby was safe.

It’s so sad n a difficult decision im sure to call police. How do you decide what to do.. i probably would have said yes I’ll take him or her . I mean as sad the mother was asking for help given the baby away atleast she didn’t harm the baby.

When you outlaw abortion in a state for the sake of creating more human bodies to be wage slaves and live lives in poverty solely to keep the capitalist machine running this is one of the outcomes if a women doesn’t want to have a child dont have the child a child is not a consequence a life should be celebrated and welcome not damning to your finances and life ruining separate church and state.

It could have been a different outcome. I'm glad she gave the baby to a woman willing to do the right thing.

Most states you have 30-60 days to give you baby up safely but I’m sure she did not know that why she was giving the baby away. I definitely would not have called the police. Now she’s in jail because of you. Sad af. Not only have our rights were stripped away from us. I am pro women’s right to choose idc.

18 years old so young. She should’ve just gone to a fire department and leave that child there.

Reminds me of Baby Gabriel. His mom said she did the same thing at a park in San Antonio. He was never seen again.

If yall don’t think men are weaponizing this whole no abortion thing, yall are retarded. This girl most likely vocalized that she didn’t want to get pregnant nor have kids. This is what’s going to happen more and more.

An Abortion could have prevented this but apparently its better to just give baby child to a stranger or adoption basically making it someone else's problem 🤦🏻
