Read it and weep:
“Lockner tried to dismiss the bloody mess and blamed it on a heavy period, prosecutors said.
But Lockner’s behavior had drawn the attention of a second co-worker, who also decided to check on her.
The second employee walked into the bathroom, peered over Lockner’s stall and “saw a newborn baby face down in toilet bowl,” prosecutors said.
Lockner had her hand on the baby’s back, according to the district attorney’s office. The employee then heard the toilet flush.
Lockner pleaded with her co-worker, asking her not to call police, prosecutors said.
Police arrived later to find the baby in Lockner’s arms, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.
The baby had no pulse and was not breathing, so officers performed CPR and rushed the infant to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, he said.
The infant is alive and in stable condition, but the extent of the baby’s brain injuries was not known, Wagstaffe said.
Lockner claimed she didn’t know she was pregnant, prosecutors said.
She has been charged with felony child abuse and inflicting great bodily injury, along with the attempted murder charge, prosecutors said.
Locker is scheduled to be arraigned in San Mateo County court on Sept. 18. She is being held on $11 million bail.”
You hear that claim every now and then. I've never found it particularly credible.
That poor infant could have massive brain damage. We can only hope that’s not the case.
What a monstrous and heinous crime.
May God grant this poor child a full recovery and a joyful life.
