Real Life Law & Order

It’s been news in Oz for the last couple of days… this little girl nicknamed Pumpkin was found in a train station in Melbourne – a security camera caught her and a man walking hand in hand in the train station and then the man was seen leaving the train station alone and the girl left in the train station.  Turns out that she was left there by her father and then the father has done a runner to the US.  Also they’re not even Aussies but from NZ!!  So now we have 3 countries searching for this elusive father and now it also maybe that Pumpkin’s mother is also MIA.

Can you imagine this on an episode on Law & Order either Criminal Intent or Special Victims Unit?  HHmmmm they might do a cross over episode…

Anyway, I do feel sorry for this little girl.  Imagine the stigma that she has to grow up knowing that she was dumped.  And she’s 3 years old.  She would be aware of what is going on more so than if a baby was dumped.

On the brighter side of things, these people are from China and they all have hanyu pinyin names and it’s absolutely hilarious hearing their names pronounced here by the news readers who can’t quite pronounce hanyu pinyin…  it’s like a tongue twister…
