Baby left to die in the desert

what a piteous baby!in this kind of disastrous event it's reasonable to blame the goverment or authority.for a woman with psychiatric ailment,keeping her custody is not a retional option.it may be extreemly dangerous to the baby.such an atrocity only revealed the uneffectiveness of the authority and unmaturity of social infrastructure.

I had not heard anything about that. When did this happen?

She was a psychiatric patient, that explains the issue. A normal average human being cannot leave her baby in a cold desert like this. An abnormal mother is unable to thinkg about the pros and cons of leaving a child in a desert. I think that woman needed to be treated medically.

I hadn't heard about that, but that is so sad--poor baby. Did the baby survive?

What a tradgey. Sometimes I think that there is not enough of us watching out for others who maybe feeling depressed or have emotional problems. There was a case in the paper this morning about a woman in Lakeville mn. who let her 11 month old baby take a bath with a 3 year old and the baby drowned while she was online buying things. She had many warning signs and her parents tried to get social services to intervien but they didn't.....and now the child is gone.

I was just thinking of this too (along with how people abandoned pets, don't ask how the train of thought works). I can't imagine what goes through peoples minds to do this kind of thing. It's sickening and I'm just speechless over this one. I've seen this before in other cases, but its always terrible and it does shake me up.

This is gross! What could have lead someone to abandon her child to die like that! obviously, she was out of her senses. God bless.

It must be hard to be so crazy as to leave your own baby to die. Was it a new born? And with all that desert area, hard to search for it and only to arrive there too late. I suppose the heat got to her and she just went stark raving mad. I doubt she even knew what she was doing. You have not given us the link to the news story so we can read it for ourselves. Having an opinion does no good if we do not know whether the woman was really crazy, or how old the baby was, so I have no idea how much pain it was, whether it was able to crawl around, or to say a few words. If it were a newborn, then it could only cry and could not move around or wriggle. That would be horrible.

i really want to help you but i dont know this story.. actually i just heard this story from you but it sounds interesting... so i think i want to know this story also... it sounds good

I hadn't heard about that but how horrible. Who could ever do something like that? Did the baby survive or did it die? It breaks my heart when I hear of things like this. The mother will probably get off with nothing but pschyiatric treatment! The defense will probably be post partum depression, which although I know that's a real condition, I'm not disputing that, I don't think it's justification for abusing or neglecting your children!

Thats ver cruel..but i dont know whom to blame for this incident as the women is a mentally ill and cant be blamed for her acts..but certainly i worry for the small baby which might have suffered a lot in the cold climate naked and would ahve cried much in that lonely night..please update whether the rescued baby is alright now in home ..

Wait, the police found the mother wandering the roadside naked or the baby? Assuming it was the mother, how and by who was the baby found? What a terrible terrible thing! Poor little baby! I wish people who couldn't handle kids just couldn't have them! It would be so much better!

Gosh, that is a sad story, the mother is not in the right mind that's why she left the baby there, somebody could have saved the baby if they know she's obviously crazy. poor baby, hope he/she's in heaven now.

that is so bad i feel so sick about it. No i never heard about that. Did the baby die??
