Yes, there would be a lesson, although not one I think anyone should learn in that way. Even if we didn't want there to be a lesson in that, there still would be. If the mother isn't up to raising a child, they can leave them at an emergency service building, a option available to facilitate mothers who can't take care of their child. If the father walks off, there isn't much you can do about it, except hope there is a hell they can burn in. No solution is perfect.
