Bad reporting.

Melissa Ann Rowland, 28, had refused medical treatment, saying she would rather die than go to either of the two recommended hospitals, and that being cut "from breast bone to pubic bone" would ruin her life, the county District Attorney's Office alleges in a probable-cause statement filed in 3rd District Court.

The woman says she never said it, this reporter should be taken out and flogged. The woman said she had already had 2 c-sections and another wasn't going to add scars. She totally disputes the assertions.

But the reporter had stated it as a fact.

I wouldn't say it's bad reporting. If you have ever had any experience with the severly mentally ill, which from the sounds of things this woman is and is probably mildly mentally retarded, when they don't get their way they will say and do anything. You can not reason with them because they don't have the ability. They are concrete thinkers.

It sounds like from the article she was receiving SSI benefits and housing, you don't just get SSI, it's a long drawn out process.

The allegations of the surviving baby having booze and coke in her bloodstream makes me think perhaps Mama ain't as responsible as she could be.
