This case is beyond despicable!!! A person has to have some serious mental issues to do this to a newborn baby.  I can only pray to God that these cases of child abuse and neglect begin to cease.  What truly disturbs me is that the amount of irresponsibility of sexual behavior will not stop whether its young people or older people.  Sex isn’t designed to be “swinging” from ceilings and  trying 109 positions….it’s designed to make babies!! If you’re not ready for that then do what it takes to not make one!!

I hope they put the mother under the jail so she can see what it’s like to gasp for air.  A SICK WORLD with EXTREMELY SICK PEOPLE!!

Read about the details as reported by ABC 6:

 

A woman accused of throwing her newborn baby in a trash can at a west-side Indianapolis factory was formally charged Wednesday for the incident, which was reported last Friday.

Police said Briana Holland, 22, gave birth to a baby boy in the restroom of the United Technology Carrier Corporation building in the 7300 block of West Morris Street. A maintenance worker at the factory discovered the baby in a trash can.

Holland faced the court for the first time Tuesday.

According to court documents,” the lower half of the baby’s body was wrapped in a brown paper bag and the head was wrapped in a separate paper sack. Toilet tissue was wrapped approximately 15 times around his neck and a tampon applicator and tissue were stuffed in the baby’s mouth.”

The worker who found the child said the baby’s face was purple and its body was cold. The baby was gasping for air and suddenly stopped. The worker slapped the baby on its bottom before it began to cry, RTV6’s Derrik Thomas reported.

RTV6 learned Wednesday morning of the charges filed against Holland:

• 1 count of attempted murder
• 3 counts of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious injury
• 1 count of battery
• 1 count of neglect of a dependent resulting in bodily injury

 

According to court documents, investigators asked Holland what she thought would happen to the baby.

“I knew what the results would probably be. It would probably die,” she said.

She also said she was confused and didn’t know what she wanted to happen.

Investigators asked if she was “cool” with the baby dying.

“I’m never cool with anyone dying,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting it to live. I threw it in the can.”

Capt. Mike Pruitt with Wayne Township Fire Department said that one of the saddest aspects of the case is the fact that there is a fire station directly across the street from the factory. According to Indiana’s Safe Haven Law, the baby could have been dropped off at any fire station, police station or hospital emergency room, no questions asked.

“We continue to drive this message home over and over again. Hopefully, it will sink in. If there is anyone out there that runs into this same situation, we hope that they will make the right choice and bring the child to a police station, fire station or hospital,” Pruitt said.

Holland worked at the factory and also attended Kaplan College. On Friday, she and her twin sister were registering for classes.

Prosecutors said the child, who is in custody of the Department of Child Services, is doing well.
