Sinvergüenzas! Baby Daddy & Cab Driver Complicit In Ditching This Little Schmoopie
It turns out the baby girl that was left in a livery cab Thursday morning in New York was actually left by her dad in cahoots with the livery cab driver. The father’s sister—who helped him hatch the plan—confessed to police late last night. The baby’s mother is a fourteen year-old girl who wanted to give the baby up for obvious reasons and is now being held in custody by city child services. The baby’s father is on the lam and being hunted by police. The livery cab driver, Klever Sailema, 45, who initially collected a $300 award for his good deed from fellow cabbies, dropped the baby off with firefighters in Queens Thursday morning, telling them the baby had been left by an unknown fare. He, the baby’s 21 year-old aunt, and her friend who also lied to police during the investigation are all expected to be arraigned sometime today. And none of this happened on a telenovela.

What is wrong with calling Child Services and saying “We have a child we want to give up for adoption…”? So stupid! Not unless the childs paternity is suspect. Who is the baby’s daddy? Some grown man? Some relative? Is the momma being sexually abused? I smell all kinds of rats in this picture. I saw this on the news and melted at the sight of her big, dark eyes…I’ll take her any day…fuckers…

How about wearing a condom? Pills? What a novel idea! Or, Why not give her up right at the hospital so this child got the chance she deserves?
How about that smart sister of the even smarter and so responsible deadbeat Dad getting some jail time?
Then we wonder why gringos think so highly of Latinos? and other minorities?
Sheeeesh who would not want such a beautiful baby? Hope they never get her back.

After watching various youtube videos involving super adorable kids doing super adorable things (like this!!!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM), I will offer to adopt this baby.
Cuz babies are this Summer’s hot accessory. And nothing turns the gays on more than hot accessories.

you know not for nothin but i suspected he was in on it when he was giving the press conference and said “i think the man had a lot of courage to give this baby up, he might have been going through rough times”. and the fool! to go on tv and be hailed a hero and accept the reward money. this man’s a beast and should definitly be charged with something.

Yeah, it’s a telenovela alright. But the cab driver isn’t a villain— at least he brought the little girl to the right people. And everyone else involved— the poor 14 year-old ma, the abusive 27 year-old father, his 21 year-old sister who said she wanted to keep the baby but also had to support her mother and 4 year-old son back in Ecuador— was in the US illegally, and so for them going to Child Services was out of the question.
So yeah, I would say the cab driver was this baby’s lucky break. But he was still an ass for accepting the $300.
