OP is referring to the first example used in the article— the Ohio baby “just shy of the 11 pound weight limit” mailed to relatives a few miles away. This sounds more reprehensible than the Mailing May story you reference.

Why precisely is it "reprehensible" to entrust your child to a short trip in the care of someone who you know and see on a regular basis, and who will be heading in that direction shortly with his vehicle?

Would you consider daycare centers and the like to be more or less reprehensible?
