The victim told police that when she was 16 years old, she secretly gave birth to the man’s baby in a closet. She said he dropped the baby off at a fire station, KHOU reported

Nobody noticed?

Can't really see stuff around you with blinders on.

That is rather the point of the fire station drop off. A pastor makes it even less likely to be noticed. Would likely get the 'must be helping someone in his congregation' response if he was e en seen at all.

I have to assume you are joking right? They aren't questioning how a man can drop a baby off, they were questioning how a 15/16 year old girl went ~9 months, gave birth (in a closet) and recovered without anyone else noticing. Family, friends, students possible coworkers and congregation members.

So she may be overweight. And if the people around her are misogynistic, some indications that she was being victimised could have been ignored on the basis of, she's not fit/attractive.

I guess 'thinking of the children' has a different meaning in his flock.
