I don't even know how to begin this...
Friday afternoon, on a walking strip in Los Angeles, two sisters were taking a stroll together when they heard what they believed to be cries of a cat nearby. They followed the sound to it's source, finding that it was coming from beneath the ground. The sisters called 911 and let the operator listen to the cries, and as they were doing so, 2 officers were sent to the scene.
They discovered a newborn baby buried alive underneath the asphalt and gravel, which would have hardened overnight in the cold temperatures, easily killing the newborn.
The child was rescued from the rubble and immediately comforted by one of the officers, who happened to be a father himself, stopping the crying. The child is now at an unnamed Los Angeles county Hospital in Intensive Care, but as of now, it seems as though she's going to be alright. It is horrid to imagine this ever happening to anybody, being buried alive, much less a 4-day old infant. The mother (who is being searched for now) obviously needs a great deal of help, hopefully she will receive it and things such as this will begin to stop occurring.

This is absolutely horrible! Some people are just not meant to have children, and this woman most definitely does not need to be taking care of that child. I'm glad the infant is in intensive care, and I hope the baby will get a chance at a better life. -Sophie Kurzius (8)
ReplyDeleteJust reading the title of the article makes me cringe! How do you even decide that burying your brand-new kid in asphalt. I can understand if you can't take care of her and you put it up for adoption, but killing it under asphalt and leaving as it cries in pain is just...why...(p.5)

ReplyDeleteI understand that the mother was probably scared and didn't know what to do with the newborn baby, but burying her under asphalt to kill it is taking it to another level. Why do that when there are clearly other options? (Bella Di Fazio pd:8)
ReplyDeletei dont understand how someone could come to killing an innocent child, even if she didnt want them there are other options. Lia k 6
ReplyDeleteThis is so strange. I almost can't believe that there is any way the events in this article could be true. Deciding to cast away a child like that has a huge affect on them and their life. I hope the child gets a better life and situations like this do not ever happen again.
