Answer:

Poverty

Explanation:

According to Jacob Riis, the most common reason why women in New York's East side abandoned their babies was because they were poor.

He emphasized the fact that abandoned children were only those of the poor, there was no record of a well- dressed child from a wealthy home found on the streets.

Some dead babies by poor women or parents tossed them on the streets because they couldn't afford the funeral expenses.
