Moderation Reminder:

Flame wars in the comments section don't do anything but inspire more cynicism and aggression. Don't like a story? Then downvote it, and maybe leave a constructive comment. Then move on.

Did someone respond negatively, unconstructively, or aggressively? Let a mod know rather than feeding into it. Our community doesn't need the comments turning into a cesspool of insults.

Don't these sort of stories end up with the employee getting fired for some frivolous crap like performing unauthorized activities or something?

I mean I'd surely hope not, it's wonderful that they managed to save the baby, but we live in a dystopia...

Hopefully the glow of public attention will protect her for a little while at least. Corporate probably doesn't want her calling back GMA for a follow-up interview.

I'm hoping for the happy-cynical, orphan-crushing-machine ending: someone sets up a GoFundMe and raises a bunch of money to allow the mother of four to raise her children and not be stuck managing a Taco Bell.

How long do you think it'll take corporate to fire her? Because no good deed goes unpunished in this hell.
