PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy.

I read about that yesterday. Truly horrifying.

 

[jazz lady]

That is just horrid.

Numerous tips led the sheriff to arrest the baby's mother, Sarah Halcomb. She was charged with a felony count of gross abuse of a corpse.
...
Halcomb also had bench warrants out for her arrest on eight other charges, including forgery, theft, and receiving stolen property.

Nice.

Why do people do this? Even if the baby was stillborn if she had left it on hospital steps, etc., it would have been taken in. They would have autopsied and discovered it was stillborn, not murdered, and she would never have been located. People do such drastic ignorant things. :shakingheadruefully:

It's a shame

This is the third mother this week in Ohio charged with crimes against children. What is wrong with these people! Those poor babies

isn't that some sort of law in most states? you can leave a baby at a hospital - no questions asked. i think i've heard that before.

such a shame. i swear you hear about this more and more. is it a new problem - or has it always been a problem and we're just hearing about it?

horrible. truly. can't even fathom this.

I don't know if it's happening more often but I do know we're hearing about it more. Especially in the forums. I think some of them are competing for the Best Dirt Finder Award. <-- (Just so you know. After all it would be boring other wise.)

I wonder if they killed the dogs because now they have a taste for it.

 

[DMJ]

This is what happens when people who should never have children, do.

True.

This child was stillborn, and I don't believe the law provides for that.

She was up ####'s creek without a paddle.
