Stories like this make me glad I am did not go into police work. I could not deal with investigating this kind of thing and stay normal.
The comments section being used as anti Romney stage for lies. Unreal.
This girl lives 5 miles from my home. This town is in shock that a girl would do this to her own baby. The Mother’s denial of this child’s pregnancy is beyond words. Life is so taken for granted by people, it is hard to get your head around it! I just keep thinking that we are born in the image of God. We are all unique but still born with His blessing.
As a society we are a failure by allowing our children to sink to this level.
Pray for God’s mercy.
How could she hide being pregnant? She doen’t look that big.
Her big mistake, of course, was that she didn’t get the local Planned Parenthood killing center to help her exterminate her own flesh and blood. Then everything would have been just peachy. “Legal” even. And shoot, if she lived in Massachusetts, under Romneycare, the taxpayers would have had the privilege of paying the hit man.
God have mercy on us.
Mom must be dysfunctional...
As cold as this sounds, she could have sold that baby for thousands to a couple wanting children. At least the kid would be alive....
Yet if she had let an abortion doctor do it for her, we would instead be celebrating her "right to choose". To paraphrase Obama, 'just because she made the mistake of killing her baby, she shouldn't be punished with a criminal trial'.
I agree that the emphasis should now be on locating the father of the baby, and nailing him to the side of a barn.
The state of Florida could also create a very interesting legal precedent by stating that, while the girl was competent before the crime, the crime itself has made her mentally incompetent, so that during her juvenile sentence she will receive psychiatric care.
This is so that, when she turns eighteen, it will be up to the psychiatrist to determine if she can be released, or if she must face further psychiatric confinement after being transferred to an adult psychiatric institution.
Now, if she’d been in Illinois, thanks to then-State Senator Barack Obama, she’d only be facing charges for being an unlicensed abortionist.
"I'm Barack Obama and I approve this 'botched abortion' correction."
She’s just being logical. If it’s OK to kill the baby before it exits the birth canal, it’s just as OK to kill it afterwards.
How can we hold this child guilty when she could have had a legal abortion 24 hours earlier? Not that she is all innocence, sweetness and light, but the facts are she has been taught - explicitly - that morals have no meaning beyond the person and the moment and that life has meaning only when arbitrary standards say it does.
This is just another tragedy in 50 million - and counting.
Perhaps the abortionists' guild is upset. She didn't hire one of them to help.
Partial birth abortion isn’t legal in the UK?
I just don’t get it. With all of the outreach programs, and school programs, social programs, church programs, etc., the girl still felt like she had no alternative. I’m so baffled and disgusted.
Amazing that a 100-lb, 5’ 3” girl could conceal or even privately deliver a massive 9.5 lb, 22-in baby in her bathroom by herself strains credulity. The police need to grill the mother as well.
Libs will use this for their good. They will say legalized abortions prevent this type of tragedy or if not for legalized abortions this trendy would be much more common.
I can’t say what could be so wrong in a child’s head they would do all of that.
There is only one answer...that and fear.
a very disturbed girl
Most media will not publish pics of minors in crime stories. Hmm.
