Thank God she was rescued. Unimaginable cruelty.

I’ve learned many, many things reading articles on FR.

One of them is that the literary phrase “his jaw dropped in surprise” is not artistic license. It happened to me when I read this article, and seems to happen at least daily when I read here.

Thank God that baby was saved.

You know, I’m DONE raising kids - but if anyone reading this needs to throw away a perfectly good baby - I’ll take it!

Man, this is awful. :(

Compton, CA. ‘Nuf said.

How wonderful that in California there is :

CALIFORNIA SAFE HAVEN LAW:

You can leave your baby, up to 3 days old, with an employee at any safe surrender designated hospital,emergency room,firestation in California.

How sad that so many people are to evil or so ignorant that they believe murdering a child is a better option. May they burn in Hell.

Couldn't help but to notice your post. Seems like we have a lot in common. House is empty now and I miss the kids, but, redemption is out there for us. Plenty of work still yet to be done.

God bless.

‘Straight outta Compton’.

You said it.

under Obama's definition that would be a legal abortion. Can't wait to see Jesus spank his hiney and send him straight to Hell where he belongs. Its murder, Capital Murder, and that term doesn't even do it justice for the unusually cruel method used in this crime.

I lived in CA in 1980-’82. Compton was somewhere you DID NOT want to be at night, even back then.

*SHUDDER*

Oh, yes. God has plans for me still, no doubt, LOL!

Merry Christmas to You and Yours! :)

Whoever did that is going to hell. I just hope they get there fast.

If you wanted to bury someone in the bed of the Los Angeles River adjacent to Compton — you’d need a jackhammer.

Not so fast. Of course, burying a live newborn is a hell-bent, damnable act. But it could be the perp (presumably the mother) was not in control of her actions because of insanity/mental incapacity. It happens. One indication might be that she did not actually kill and effectively "disappear" her baby, as an intentionally-acting, coldly calculating person would have done.

It could be delusional behavior.

Some people need hospitalization, not hell. Thank God the baby survived. I hope the little one is adopted by good people who can provide splendid, dedicated "mothering" and "fathering."

You can say that again.

Compton means it was a Hispanic baby.

[Yaelle]

Or you could be like me and just keep having more kids. Lol. Either they keep you young or they put you over the edge!!

[Mrs. Don-o]

How’d that happen?
