That little has restored my faith in humanity! Bless her mother for raising such a remarkable little girl!

A mother is forgiven for leaving her baby if it is left in a safe place. Like a hospital or police station

(let's just say the family adopts the child and her and the baby get into an argument)
9yo girl: we found you in the backyard
baby: Nuh uh

She took the situation maturely, and gave God the credit at the end. ❤

When the reporter asked her "who helped you?" And she said "god" I got this wave of emotion. Young lady you are a hero.
