AndrewB Posted May 27, 2007 In a Wal-Mart that I've been in many times, a woman entered a washroom, gave birth, left the new human face-down in the toilet of a blood-soaked stall, and left, all in the span of 14 minutes. http://www.canada.com/globaltv/national/story.html?id=8f6f458f-ce75-4aa0-8570-bd4c45db8b11&k=5229 "I couldn't see his face, but he was head-down," he said. "He was barely moving when I picked him up. There was blood everywhere. "It was unreal." Also, the mother just came forward. http://www.canada.com/topics/news/national/story.html?id=c5903496-1ee6-4c13-adf9-65ea9257f2a7&k=5617 The mother, accompanied by family members, came forward to police Friday night, police said in a news release Saturday. They also took the unusual step earlier this week of releasing store video surveillance tapes showing a woman in an oversized dark coat walking into the store, and leaving just 14 minutes later. So apparently they're thinking of maybe having a safe abandonment process for babies. Isn't this better, though? 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted May 27, 2007 Holy shit. They better not allow custody to the family or at least the mother. 0 Share this post Link to post

Isn't this better, though? the story, though nothing unheard of, is quite disturbing, but making a safe abandonment process isn't gonna eliminate this problem. NYC has a safe haven law in which a newborns can be turned over to police and fire departments, hospitals, and child welfare offices annonimously and without fear of prosecution, but you will still get the occasional careless teen that throws her baby in the trash or abandons it in a bathroom. there was a case about a month ago here and one about five months before that. as sad and fucked up as it is, it'll keep happening. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fredrik Posted May 27, 2007 Agreed. The mother should have been aborted. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted May 27, 2007 Fredrik said: The mother should have been aborted. In that case the child, who started out life in such a rough manner (although it may be better later), would never have been. Plus it's not impossible that she was coerced. Not to mention even great mistakes can be redressed or learned from. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted May 27, 2007 Eh... the kid would've died anyway by being suffocated playing with a plastic bag while the mother sat on AOL IM'ing her friends. Better to get it out of the way. 0 Share this post Link to post
Searcher Posted May 27, 2007 For a mother to think that little of a human life, of her own, just sickens me. WOW! 0 Share this post Link to post

Heh, we have a bad, racist joke for Gypsies and their fecundity here in Greece: A typical Gypsy family with a father, a mother and 12 children are riding on a battered Datsun truck (because in Greece Gypsies have to drive Datsun pickup trucks and grow/sell potatoes), and as the truck drives over a ditch, the youngest kid gets tossed out of the truck's bed. -"Hey, husband, we lost one of our children on the road!" -"Don't worry, woman, we'll just make another one." 0 Share this post Link to post
Kirby Posted May 7, 2009 Welcome to reality, where fear roams wild and idiocracy rules all. Babies are no exception to this rule, unfortunately due to their own parents/birthers. I can sympathize enough to understand, but it'll never seem sane every time I hear about it. 0 Share this post Link to post

pritch Posted May 11, 2009 Wtf “When the baby came out it was clear to her that the baby was dead,” Krishan said. “That’s a normal reaction of a 20-year-old.” A 20-year-old what? Mancubus? Honestly, that statement is so intensely retarded that I dearly hope he loses every case for the rest of his career. Also mad props for resurrecting this thread after 2 years... I'm pretty sure only AndrewB could even remember posting about something 2 yars previous... 0 Share this post Link to post
