Incredibly sad

[GPK]

I don't have the link for it, but a young (early 20's) Campbell County, VA girl gave birth to a baby during the middle of the night on friday. Police were called to the residence about a girl being in labor, but when they showed up, the girl had delivered about 10 hours earlier and the baby was dead after being suffocated by the mother. As incredibly sad as that is, due to a Virginia Law, there is nothing that this girl can be charged with. Because the baby was still attached by the umbilical cord and the placenta was still in the mother, the baby "legally" had not formed its own identity. Also, this was no premature birth. She carried the baby to full term.
