This research on the social determinants that lead mothers to abandon newborns putting them at risk of life, reflects a concern about the situation experienced nowadays by many women and newborn babies in our country. For a better approach of the reality experienced by these women and understanding of what permeates their act, has been used as a feature testimonials of the individuals -these mothers- and as methodology the oral story. Even with all problems involving this research because it is a field characterized by silence, where the desire for non-identification is firmly present in the reality of mothers who have abandoned their children at risk, the attainment of this reality only became possible when the focus was on these women. The identity given to the woman, socially and historically, in terms of peer pressure related to motherhood / maternal and the fear and shame of challenging the myth of innate maternal love, establish essential determinants to the reality here searched. The discrimination that mothers who give away their children bear, the lack of a support network (family/community) and the social policies restricting family and the woman are also important resolutions which, sometimes, imbricate with each other.
