Palm Beach worker finds dead baby on trash conveyor belt

Associated Press

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A worker sorting trash found a dead newborn on a conveyor belt at the Palm Beach County recycling center, police said.

Employees discovered the naked infant while separating metal and aluminum recyclables shortly after 9 p.m. Monday. There was no blanket, bag or other evidence found with the body that could help to identify him, Detective Charles Reed said.

Reed estimated that the baby was between a day and a week old.

The body was intact, but "it was not in the best of condition," Reed said. "It was mixed in with all the trash."

The infant could have come from anywhere in the county. More than 3,000 tons of trash are dumped daily at the facility and go through a series of machines before landing on the conveyor belt where workers separate the recyclables.

Detectives will try to track down the baby's mother by filing through hospital and doctor records and by combing through the trash for clues, Reed said.

John Booth, executive director of the solid waste authority, said it was unusual they found the baby at all.

"This would be the only place where the baby could be discovered," he said, because most of the process is automated.

Fact is ... there are far more human remains in city landfills across this country than we will ever know; or, want to know.

"...their parts and bodies are discarded the same way...in the garbage."

Worse than that, their select "parts" are harvested and sent to willing and eager buyers who use them for everything from illegal research to cosmetics.

Detectives will try to track down the baby's mother

HEY MSM, the murdered child also had a father.  A fair bet the DNA did not come from a turkey-baster from heaven.

And you wonder why the Sopranos are so popular amongst the sanitation workers of America?

Women sacrifice their screaming babies for career, for things and for their pleasure just as ancient pagans killed their young for a better harvest or protection from a plague. Men, as addled and corrupt as the women, stand in their shadows like effeminate weaklings and have forgotten how to lead. The rag pickers and rat catchers of days past buy and sell the tiny hands and fingers with the arrogant calm that science bestows. But then, it all makes good economic sense.

You are right, we do live in a charnel house, but at least the Nazis were honest about what they did. I would guess that they'll suffer less eternally then many of the butchers of today that ply their obscene trade for the crass reward of nice cars and fine clothes.
