A woman who pleaded guilty to manslaughter for giving birth on a toilet and letting the baby drown was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to get psychological treatment for depression, paranoia and anorexia.

Shatoya Nelson, 23, told investigators she did not know she was pregnant until she gave birth at her mother's Tamarac home on July 21, 2004.

According to detectives, Nelson said she left the female infant in the toilet for several minutes before taking her out and wrapping her in a towel. The woman's mother discovered the dead baby the following morning and insisted Nelson take the body to the hospital.

Was she drunk or on something? This is sick.

A man who did it would get 10 years in jail.

The pig murders a baby and gets 5 years suspended.

Insanity.

This is a good argument for the existence of hell.

[CarrotAndStick]

This is sick!

[I still care]

Bill O reilly is right. Children are worth so much less in our society, you can abuse and rape them and get by with it.

[jazusamo]

Exactly, Orile is right on this. There's a lot I don't agree with him on but I salute him for going after these judges that let child molesters off.

The same woman and abortionist the day before would have gotten off scott free . . .

"Was she drunk or on something? This is sick."

Nah. She was of a ... umm ... certain racial and ethnic group, and socioeconomic class, that tends toward drug abuse and incredibly moronic behavior. Also the women tend to act like robots around men and open their legs to any of them. This is not surprising at all.

Society needs to hold women responsible for their actions. A grown woman is not always a victim.

I would give her the same method of execution that she gave to the infant.

Shatoya Nelson, 23, told investigators she did not know she was pregnant until she gave birth at her mother's Tamarac home on July 21, 2004.

She's too damn dumb to be having children. I'm sure the apple didn't fall far from the tree either...

Shatoya's mom should look into that 70 trimester post-partum abortion. She should also be soundly beaten for naming her daughter "Shatoya."

[CheyennePress]

Can you imagine finding a cloth bundle, opening it up, and finding a dead baby in your house?

And then living with the shame of knowing that your own daughter did this?

[ICE-FLYER]

This sick event is brought to you by Liberalism; which holds as a basic tenent that babies are not people afforded the constitutional protection we all hold dear.

[ishabibble]

Well, at least Mom INSISTED that poor Shatoya take the dead baby to the hospital.

The very dregs of humanity here, and that includes the legal system. I hope the MSM prints another story next year when this murderer is pregnant again. Nah...
