This just shows how some have no regard for infants in life or in death.

is still clueless as to how the mistake could have been made

Maybe? because babies bodies are being tossed in the trash on a daily basis in this culture of abortion - just one more body - nothing unusual/

Truly, if this mass murder isn't stopped, this world will reap the whirlwind/

I've heard "don't throw the baby out with the bath water," but I never thought it would happen.

Am I the only one wondering whether the person who threw the baby away votes?

Did they see their baby? Do they know for sure she died?

There are funeral homes that offer free cremation services to mothers of stillborn babies. My daughter went through that last year. She has decided to get one of those "Build-a-Bear" dolls that they sell at the mall made to store the ashes of her son inside.

This Australian case adds insult to injury. The loss of a child is bad enough, but now their loss has been compounded.

Voting is compulsory in Australia, so almost certainly.

Yes, they did see their baby, and they know she was stillborn. As bad as this is, it's not that bad.

"Voting is compulsory in Australia, so almost certainly."

Well I didn't know that. Thanks.

When I saw this story, I just thought to myself that we know that people who throw babies away in this country do vote.

I am not sure what you meant by that.

Losing a baby then having it "disappear" would be devastating. To say the least. Actually, there is no word in the english language to describe how devastating it would be.

I'm sure that to the parents losing a child is losing a child, no matter what the age.

My sympathies for their loss.

What I meant by it was simple - somebody asked if they saw their baby's body - which seemed to me to be speculating on the possibility that this was more than just a matter of the body being lost, but perhaps the parents had been mislead about the very facts of how their child died.

Yes, this is an horrific case of negligence - but there is a difference between negligence in losing the child's body, and if there was negligence involved that lead to the child's death.

I was thinking more along the lines of the baby being used for harvesting. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Also, I worked in a hospital in So Cal about 25 years ago. During a routine inspection, a baby was found in one of the refigerated morgue drawers. It has been accidentally pushed aside and forgotten. I'm not sure if the parents had asked for a hospital disposal or if they had been told that the baby had been lost, as in this case. Either way, it was hard to take. I guess my point is that it does happen, probably more often that we know.

I am just horrified for these parents. Shame on that hospital!

The black community is already reaping it. They have virtually aborted the next generation and stand to have their "Most Favored Minority" status taken away and give to the illegal aliens. Statistics say that one in three pregnancies among black women end in abortion.

"life could not be that cruel"

It's been my experience that just when you think you've heard about the most terrible thing you'll ever hear, something worse comes along within a week.

What happens to hospital waste in Australia? Is it incinerated or buried? It's considered hazardous waste here. Don't really know what happens to it after it's bagged and marked 'hazardous' though. Digging through tons of it searching for a preemie's body would be a horrible job, almost unthinkable. Still, I'm a little surprised the authorities aren't willing to do it (therefore, the Aussies must incinerate it???). It is a human being, after all and she deserves more respect than being thrown out with the garbage.

Perhaps digging through the hazardous waste would be satisfactory punishment for the people who did it? Just fit them up in hazmat scuba gear, and off they go to the pools of infectious goop.

That's not fair. I'm sure that the hospital staff just made a mistake. No one would intentionally throw out an infant's corpse, if for no other reason than to avoid a lawsuit.

Incinerated - because, yes, otherwise people would be looking. It wouldn't be a pleasant job but similar things have been done before. Near where I live, it was necessary a couple of years ago to search through a garbage tip for an infants body after her father murdered the child and her mother - I'm a volunteer firefighter and we all volunteered. So did volunteers of the State Emergency Service, and members of a nearby golf club. People would do this now if there was anywhere to look.
