Infant Had Been Run Over Several Times
(CBS) NEW YORK The dead body of a newborn baby that had been crushed by a car was discovered lying on a Long Island street Saturday. Police had few clues where the infant came from, or whether it was dead or alive when it was abandoned.
A man walking his dog found the badly mangled body at 7:30 a.m. on a residential street near a golf course and a high school in Hempstead, about 20 miles east of Manhattan.
"The first time I saw it, I thought it was a dead raccoon, but then I saw the little feet and everything, and I saw it was a little baby," said Nolbin Valle, a shaken Long Island resident who lives near where the body was found. "I don't know man; I think only an animal could do that."
The naked body had been laying in the road for some time, probably more than a day, and may have been struck by more than one vehicle, said Detective Lt. Dennis Farrell of the Nassau County police.
Investigators could not immediately determine the baby's race or gender. The man who made the gruesome discovery initially mistook the remains for a small animal, police said.
The remains were sent to the Nassau County medical examiner.
Police were also canvassing hospitals, hoping to find some record of a woman who had recently given birth. Investigators were also considering the possibility that the baby was a stillbirth, Farrell said.
O my God!
Prayers lifted for a poor soul.
speechless.
really.
i cradle my precious beyond comprehension 3 month old and type with one hand, just to say i am speechless.
what is wrong with people?
How could so many people run over that body and not notice, especially the first few? What a horror!! And what monster could leave a baby's body in the road like that; and not be noticed, for cryin' out loud. LI is a busy place.
Prayers for the poor man who found the body. He's going to need some real healing up from this one.
Unbelievable. Truly horrific.
Prayers for the soul of this innocent child. I REALLY hope they identify him/her, and catch the monsters who did this.
Put there by a supporter of hillary and chuckie schumer, no doubt.
For you and me both and I've read and unfortunately experienced some disturbing stuff.
I'm a pissed-off, grizzled, surly, asshole who's been thru more crap than I'd like to admit, but I'm crying as I write this.
AND YES, WTF with the damn 'commuters' in the larger metro areas who could pass (or even run over) this without noticing?
Reminds me of the stories I've heard about D.C. beltway commuters screaming at some bleeding accident victim because their yuppie ass was going to be late to work.
Their time is gonna come....
It's worse than that. Few animals would do that. This is a sick, immoral, degenerative, heartless, evil act that is totally devoid of any integrity.
Heaven above! The things we don't read about... Rest In Peace little one.
God Almighty. I just wish He'd get here and pass judgement.
Scares me too think this person could have other kids...
No doubt, I hate that I even read this story. I couldn't imagine the horror this guy must be going through every time he closes his eyes and tries to sleep.
Totally agree. Let the Rapture come already and leave the degenerates here on this miserable planet.
How.On.Earth did a newborn baby (alive or dead) end up on a road?
We often overlook folks involved in these type of incidents. This poor man will most likely think of this every day for the rest of his life. No one could ever forget such a traumatic event. He may need help coping.
Holy...who would do something like that????
