    1. 57yr old woman arrested, it happened 42 yrs ago.

      I’m all for justice served, but this doesn’t feel like a case to pursue for what was a 15 yr old teenager at the time.

      I dunno, it just doesn’t sound like a priority and I say that lightly because it is a serious crime, but 15yrs old preggers in the early 80s would’ve been hell.

      It also sounds like the police were operating joints teams for this, and carried out a raid too. Sounds like a waste of resources imho given the circumstances – but again I say that lightly.

    2. Thank heaven this was breaking news, I would hate to feel like I was out of the loop on this story.

      The baby was strangled and dumped. This person may have more children now and professionals will also need to assess her current mental state and risk of future offending, for example if under mental strain. Living with a secret like that will surely have severe consequences for someone’s mental health and ability to live a normal life.

    4. This was a baby that was alive! And ya’ll are literally supporting her for strangling the baby? Like its abortion? This is not abortion this is murder,she probably had a change of mind and killed the baby with her bare hands,if you all are ok with this,there is a special place for you in hell.

      Abortions should only be ok at early stage before the heart starts beating,if it has a working heart and you kill it,you are a murderer period.
