Thank God the baby at least survived this. Now she has to grow up knowing she was ripped out of her mum's stomach before she was even born...

Why are people in American society committing this kind of crap? Seems to be a pattern to it also, most are in their mid-30's and often are known to the victim. Surely this has something to do with America's culture and values..

Baby cut from mother found alive

A baby who was cut from her mother's womb has been found alive two days after the woman's body was discovered, US police have said.

A woman who had the baby with her when found in New Hampshire was charged with being a fugitive from justice.

The girl was said to be in "fairly good health," according to Worcester police Sergeant Kerry Hazelhurst.

The body of her mother, Darlene Haynes, 23, was found in her apartment on Monday, apparently killed days before.

     
US FOETUS ABDUCTION CASES
1987: Darci Pierce, 19, abducted and killed Cindy Ray in New Mexico and cut out her baby.
1995: Debbie Evans was murdered in Illinois, along with two of her children. A baby son survived, as did the foetus.
1996: 17-year-old Carethia Curry was murdered by a friend, Felicia Scott, 37, who stole her foetus.
2000: Michelle Bica invited a pregnant friend to her home in Ohio, shot her dead and cut out her baby.
2004: Lisa Montgomery killed Bobbi Jo Stinnett and cut out her baby girl, who survived
2007: Pregnant 18-year-old Amanda Howard was abducted in Missouri but freed unharmed. Lauren Gash jailed for kidnap.
2009: Eight-months pregnant Darlene Haynes found dead and the baby removed. The baby was found alive two days later.

Police named the arrested woman as Julie Corey, 35, described as an acquaintance of Ms Haynes.

She was arrested at a shelter in Plymouth, New Hampshire, after staff became suspicious of her and notified police.

She had told staff she was the mother of the six-day-old baby, the Union Leader newspaper reported.

A male companion with her at the time was questioned by police, but was later released.

Darlene Haynes' body was found in her apartment in Massachusetts on Monday after her landlord noticed a "horrifying smell".

A post-mortem examination revealed that her foetus was missing, and that she had head injuries, but the exact cause of death has yet to be determined.

Toxicology tests were being carried out, Worcester Police Detective Captain Edward McGinn Jr said.

The last known contact anyone had with Ms Haynes was a week ago when she sent a text message to a friend saying she was having drinks with a friend in her apartment.

Ms Haynes had three other girls - aged 5, 3 and 18 months.

It is not the first such case in the US.

Lisa Montgomery was given a death sentence two years ago for murdering Bobbi Jo Stinnett, whose foetus she removed. The baby girl survived.

That is the result of slackness in immigration policy.

Like child soldiers and suicide bombers, decapitations and stonings to death.

There's nothing we cannay do.

helian,

One is a symptom of a society pushed to the edge of survival by encroaching invading dominating forces.

The other is a symptom of a society so bored to death and self-centred, it doesn't know what next to do in order to reach a 'new high'.

Hardly comparable.

All people when placed in strained circumstances will resort to extreme measures....

abu - no, the reporting of such incidents does not make me feel better.
It DOES show an freedom of the media. To and well past the point of any concievable benefit
The reporting of this does not help anyone or anything I can reasonably imagine.
The event happened, that is all.
Same as a car that crashes into a flooded creek and all the people in the car drown.

freedom does not turn people into monsters.
people are just people. Not all people are good.
the legal system tries to limit the effects of the bad people amongst us.

I prefer it that the legal system AND the media coverage are in different hands.
