Haha, I can imagine. 
I can't say much about how things are nowadays since I've been away for awhile...
But back in my days~ There was always an abundant number of wannabe-hero-protagonist characters who were well-liked, polite, and able to solve any problem they encountered. I guess it's personal preference, but I've always found those types to be boring.

Flawed is the new black~ (Not a racist comment)
And I look forward to the complications and consequences that turn up in this RP.
I came here to PARTY~!
I didn't come here to sip tea and talk about the weather, nor did I come to sit around a campfire and tell scary stories. Gimme my Conflict!

Personally I love how brainlessly naive Mary is, and think your doing a pretty good job conveying the recklessness thus far xD I just hope KoL's nasty little surprise doesn't have an adverse effect on you portraying her.

On a more solemn note, Shakrais can offer some help to the situation.
If the baby goes SPLAT!... I can have Shakrais bribe the mother into stating that she never had a child. The baby would hence be a 'nobodies child' and considering they were flattened by a flying boulder, we could pretend the babycart just had a dog or cat inside it *nods*
Or! Or! Shakrais can make a diamond carving of the baby and give it to the mother. Not only is her baby now valuable, but it no longer needs to be fed! Double win!

[@KoL] Going to be examining your GM'ing very closely KoL~
I've tried the whole "Put players in sticky situations" thing in the past myself, and it always leads to drama and people quitting >_< Maybe you've got something I need to learn?... Though I suppose it didn't help that I always sprung my 'consequences' on whoever I fancied, regardless of whether they'd done something crazy or not.
