Aparently they have contacted all the people but now have to go through all the paper work!!
Their should be a system of saying "hey this guy is suspected of this crime and we need to locate him..." then they can look for him.. find him... and keep tabs til the paper work is through... even holding them for x amount of time would be good.
All the paper work and channels you have to go through could drive them mad!!]]> Thu, 20 Sep 2007 11:20:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10808&PID=216260&title=pumpkin#216260 <![CDATA[Pumpkin : I agree with Jaz the Police have...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10808&PID=216254&title=pumpkin#216254 Author: Bubbaloo

Well considering they aren't actually looking for him he's not going to turn up any time soon. He could be anywhere by now. I think the whole things been handled incredibly badly by the police. They were still calling the little girl Pumpkin when they knew her real name and were trying to locate her Mother without revealing her identity.

Looks like the mum is dead - so so sad! At least he didn't hurt "Pumpkin", but why take her to a whole other country & leave her? Maybe he thought that would buy him time while he took off to the States. If he'd left her in NZ they would've found "Pumpkin's" details sooner. Smart thinker huh.

I'm amazed at how fast they did discover she was from NZ & her address. I heard she didn't speak much english.

Poor poor wee girl!!! Even though she's lost her mum, hopefully she'll live a happier life with her horrible father not in it.]]> Wed, 19 Sep 2007 21:15:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10808&PID=216095&title=pumpkin#216095 <![CDATA[Pumpkin : we could have a wee Pumpkin living...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10808&PID=216057&title=pumpkin#216057 Author: lizzle

we could have a wee Pumpkin living with us. am so tempted to just get on that plane and pick her up.

Not sure how I feel about the dad dumping her..i mean, why would he not just have left her in NZ? was he planning to take her with him and then she got "annoying", or was he just trying to buy himself some more time by leaving her there.

In the US they have made it perfectly legal to drop of an unwanted baby at fire station, hospitals etc with no questions asked, seems horrible but it has stopped a lot of unwanted newborns being killed by mums who just don't know what else to do. They should probably introduce something like that here and let the babies go to homes where they will be loved.]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:53:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10808&PID=215229&title=pumpkin#215229 <![CDATA[Pumpkin : Isn't she just an adorable...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10808&PID=215212&title=pumpkin#215212 Author: ShellandBella

In Italy they used to have special boxes at Convents for unwanted children that were in the walls, and you could put the baby into it then turn the handle and it would turn into the wall of the convent so the nuns would tak the baby. They have just re-introduced these at some of the big hospitals through Italy.

She is so adorable too....it breaks your heart doesnt it, she must have been so scared. On the upside - she is prob going to have a much better life with an adoptive family than she would have with a father that would do something like dump her.

My mum has a friend who adopted 2 litle girls from china, a brother and sister from Fiji and then another little girl from China. They are all grown up now, and she has done an awesome job (she was a single mum!!) - I think adoption is fantastic, especially when you have so much love to give to a child.

It's everywhere at the moment, as something like this would be, but it makes me feel so sad and desperate.

Al said last night that he thinks the father has probably killed the mother, and dumped the little girl. In that case, he's probably done the kindest thing for her - left her somewhere public and relatively safe.

As someone though, that would give a lot to have a child, it's has affected me surprisingly to know that there is a little girl out there who needs a family. I'd adopt her in a hearbeat, and I'm not just saying that.

For whatever reason, my mind and heart are turning increasingly to adoption at the moment. Perhaps it's knowing what we've got to go through to have a child, and that there are already so many children out there, like Pumpkin, who are already here and need a family.

Isn't the world a funny, funny place?]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 08:16:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10808&PID=215026&title=pumpkin#215026
