Ashcraft has been accused of concealing her pregnancy, giving birth to a live baby boy and then dumping him in a trash bin beneath her apartment.

Clearly I'm no doctor, but I find it very hard to believe that a baby has much chance of survival when dumped in a dumpster.

You'd be surprised. There have been plenty of cases of babies being found alive after a number of hours or days in a dumpster (usually screaming their heads off).

If the baby was born dead, it'd be a different set of charges. That's why they word it that way.

Yeah. Sometimes, nature selects.

Babies shouldn't (and don't) make their own decisions.

Why she chose to do what she did is beyond me.

I was about to post the same. Its so easy to get rid of a kid now and NOT go to jail or be on the news.

Yep, it's really sad to see this. Such an attractive young woman screwing her life up for NO reason at all. And preventing 2 lives from entering this world now. That's some messed up sh1t.

What does her being attractive have to do with anything? It doesn't matter if she was fugly as hell, what she did was unspeakable.

Attractive people get preferential treatment in many situations. So is the way of the world...

Correct..

The other night on Nancy Grace, there was a case where a mother dumped her "just born" child behind the house next to a fence. A neighbor heard a "whining" like sound all night. She decided to investigate the next morning.. The sounds were then a light moan. It was a little boy; placenta and umbilical cord still fvcking attached.. The baby was just born..

This was in Mass.; temps that night were 40 degrees.. The last thing I heard was the baby was serious, but in stable condition..



$hit like this pisses me off... Here my wife and I have been trying to have a baby for three years now... My wife has infertility issues, and we had to do IVF. She rarely has a cycle every month like most women...
Unfortunately, its been a VERY rocky road for us. Last year, wife went into pre-term labor due to a weak cervix..first son was born stillborn..
Just a few weeks ago (Sept. 21), my wife was carrying twins.. got a serious infection.. caused her to go into pre-term labor again at only 23 weeks 5 days... daughter only lived 2 hours, and my second son lived 11 hours.. I had to tell the NICU to pull life support..

And here we have sluts like this that just open their legs without taking any responsibility for their actions..

You stole my post! This totally a Law & Order repost. Just another example of people acting out what they see on tv. Bring back the Waltons!
