Incredibly sad

GPK · #1 12-15-2009, 11:19 PM

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.

What do you expect from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Glad I didnt retire in that state. That lady deserves life in prison.

you can thank convoluted logic and ultra-left leaning folks for laws such as this one. after all, if you charged her, there are some late pregnancy abortion patients who would have to look for lawyers. it all comes down to the want of the mother it seems. she basically killed it, but that's ok. now, had she been about to deliver and someone shot her, killing a baby she had wanted-the shooter would be up on charges. figure that out.

Just terrible. But honestly, would have this story disturbed you as much before you were a father? I noticed after my first one was born that I was much more sensitive, aware and distugested with stories like this. Parenthood makes you a little softer.

I can honestly say that it would have disturbed me a great deal. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for kids.

Have they released this piece of crap's name anywhere? Or is the press and police protecting her privacy?

Steve, I haven't seen her name released anywhere. I guess since there is nothing she can be charged with, there is no need for her name to be public record?? Hell if I know bro...

"Most states in the U.S. have baby safe haven laws, allowing people to turn over their babies unharmed to a local receiving organization without the threat of prosecution. Normally, the receiving agency is a hospital emergency room, responsible adult, manned fire department, or police station. You must arrive with the baby unharmed and be handed over to a person---NOT left in a lobby, doorway, or unattended. Very kind, concerned, and professional men and women will help you from there."

I don't understand why someone would kill their baby when it is so easy to find a home for the baby. It's totally hassle-free. You drop the baby off at a fire-station or hospital and you're done with it. That's a helluva lot better than killing the baby. I guess some of these women are probably so uneducated that they don't even know about these options.

You said a mouthfull with them being uneducated like Ive always said there is about 10 ways to not get pregnant only one way to.
The sick biatch needs to made to have a hysterctomy asap so she doesnt have to worry about getting pregnant and having to kill another baby.
