The police stated that Smith didn’t want her children because her oldest daughter has a mental disability. The medication had become too expensive. The children were all taken into protective custody, and Smith was eventually arrested.

While it does seem cruel that Smith left her kids – at least she took them somewhere safe. She could have just left them alone at home and never returned.
I am not condoning her actions, but being a single mom can’t be easy.

Maybe Smith had become depressed. Maybe the stress was too much. She didn’t know how to get help. It is not true, however, that unwanted children can just be dropped off at a fire department or at a DFAC location.
