Mom Threw Newborn 2 Floors Into Boston Alley
When you read stories like this, your skin literally crawls. Why would anyone harm their own child in this manner? I hope the baby makes a full recovery.
QUOTE BOSTON - A teenage mother tossed her naked, newborn son out a second-floor bathroom window into a trash-strewn alley, where a neighbor heard the infant's cries and called for help, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Eva Flores, 18, pleaded not guilty in East Boston District Court to charges of assault and battery on a child under 14 and reckless endangerment of a child. A judge set bail at $1,500.
Assistant District Attorney Leora Joseph said a police investigation determined that Flores gave birth in a bathtub on Sept. 20 and then threw the baby out the window. She said police found a portion of the umbilical cord in the bathtub drain.
The infant fell about 17 feet into the narrow alley between two homes in the city's East Boston neighborhood, Joseph said. A neighbor heard the baby's cries and called police, who found the infant and took him to a hospital.
The child was originally described as being found in good condition, but Joseph said Tuesday that the baby suffered hypothermia and serious injuries including abrasions, hemorrhaging and seizures.
"It's a very sad, and very strange, case," Joseph said after the hearing....

IF this woman did not want the child then why did she not contact a adoption agency? I know there is a lot of help out there for young women who do not want to be pregnant and yet do not want a abortion. I am sure this young woman could have received some helpful advice and not have to go through life now as a child abuser.

Perhaps she didn't have the love and support that other young women may have in that predicament. I am not saying this is an excuse, however we don't know what kind a stress this young woman was under or her circumstances. A tragedy for the baby, yes, but perhaps the woman thought she had no other options.
