They can't be selling their babies outright?""You said it yourself doc, I can't put it past with the things going on here,""Oh God no, so does that mean the moms that abandon their babies close to the hospital do not want to sell their baby? does this mean they might have been forced into doing it?"She asked, she really shouldn't be thinking these things, babies are precious no mother would give her baby up except she can't help it."We can't jump to conclusions yet Ruby, I will make some inquiries even though talking with the locals doesn't help, they keep to themselves so much,""Yeah, even the women too, they hardly say anything, okay some can't speak English but the ones that can aren't talking either as if something or someone is controlling them.""If this is it, then we are in a lot more than we might have bargained for, this place is not safe and you should warn your team, sticking together would help us more, though I doubt they will do an
