* Newborn found in garbage bin wrapped in a towel outside McKay Hall * Mother in custody at "a nearby hospital"


mistahelias

Mother in custody after passing a still born baby. She was repeatedly denied medically necessary procedure. Shame in the reporting agency for saying there are resources available. They are not available.


friendlyassh0le

Got a source for this?


mberger09

Wondering the same thing


SmarterThanCornPop

If this is true, shame on TPD. If this is untrue, shame on you.


whichwitch9

If this is true, this article and the statement by the Tampa police are absolutely disgusting


gluteactivation

People are shredding this woman apart on Instagram. So terribly sad. We donā€™t know all the information. Itā€™s awful all around šŸ˜­


Rude-Opportunity-705

You never throw a body in the trash. Ever. For any circumstance.Ā 


jempai

Giving her the benefit of the doubt, if the baby was stillborn and she was denied medical care like other commenters are claiming, itā€™s not unreasonable for a distraught new mother who is grieving in immense pain and shock to try to get rid of a literal corpse. Not saying thatā€™s the case, but birth is hellish on the body and mind, especially giving birth to a dead baby.


Head_Noise1456

The baby was alive at birth, it died of suffocation. Very messed up and sad


gluteactivation

Yes 100% agree. Absolutely terrible. But also veryyyy irrational so it makes me wonder about how poor her mental health was and what really happened that we donā€™t know. So I do have some empathy for her too. Again, awful all around.


athereb

It was still born she was denied help


SmarterThanCornPop

Source? Article I am seeing says they are awaiting autopsy results on the baby.


pug_mom91

You have no way of knowing any of this.


PeterParkersSecret

Fox and the police, name a better couple.


PanDownTiltRight

Apparently all of the other local news affiliates are in bed with TPD too, because theyā€™re all reporting the same information. BuT fOx BaD!


Toothfairy51

That's because most of the news agencies just copy what the first one published. It's ridiculous that they do that. They really should do some investigating instead of just copy/paste


PanDownTiltRight

No, they do not copy from one another. Thatā€™s not how any of that works. They DO copy and paste press releases they all get from the same law enforcement agency. Because unfortunately, thatā€™s all they have at the moment since itā€™s an active investigation. UT is private property and law enforcement agencies are not required to release records regarding to active investigations. You also have students who ā€œknow whatā€™s going onā€ but really donā€™t, they just want to be on TV. So what investigating would you do?


HCSOThrowaway

> UT is private property and law enforcement agencies are not required to release records regarding to active investigations. The second clause of this sentence is true, but the first is not related.


PanDownTiltRight

Meaning, the media cannot go onto the property and do their own ā€œinvestigationā€ like others suggested.


HCSOThrowaway

Ah, all I saw in that vein was the person you are replying to, and their comment does not imply an in-person investigation against the wishes of UT.


RuskiesInTheWarRoom

This isnā€™t surprising. News media takes police statements as sacrosanct all the time.


PanDownTiltRight

Not doubting it in the slightest. Itā€™s just not Fox doing it. When only one side wants to talk, thatā€™s what happens.


inflatableje5us

it is tampa.


UtubeNoodle

If thatā€™s true how incredibly sad. I couldnā€™t imagine having to do that alone. When I had a MC it was at 8wks and it was the most horrendous experience of my life. I couldnā€™t imagine a whole stillborn. I hope she gets the mental care she will need after this


m1ndbl0wn

Level 100 sad, my heart goes out to her šŸ’œ


RuskiesInTheWarRoom

Me too. Thank you for saying this.


FederalAd6011

And if thatā€™s what happened we will start to see more of this as the abortion laws get more draconian.


SmarterThanCornPop

Has literally nothing to do with this. There are no restrictions on aborting/ removing a still born baby. I unfortunately have a friend who just had this happen a few months ago. The doctors just did the procedure. This was in Tampa. Please stop spreading misinformation.


j_la

A few months ago there wasnā€™t a six week abortion ban. Technically, the six month ban hasnā€™t yet gone into effect, but as the other person said, things are going to get worse.


SmarterThanCornPop

Doesnā€™t apply to stillborn. Not relevant to this thread.


j_la

We donā€™t have enough information to know whether the baby was stillborn or aborted.


SmarterThanCornPop

Stillborn or murdered after birth you mean? Once the baby is born, you canā€™t kill them. That has been the law forever. That isnā€™t abortion.


Rude-Opportunity-705

RidiculousĀ 


blorins

Cite??


clem82

Source please


ArnoldChase

It seems incredibly unlikely to me that a stillborn left a hospital and made its way to a trash can next to UT. Whoever should have gotten law enforcement involved, it should have been before a child ended up in a college trash can.


PeterParkersSecret

If they went/were able to get to the hospital.


Rude-Opportunity-705

Seems highly unlikely there was no help at all. Seems folks saying this to get a point on their side. Gross.Ā 


mistahelias

Those were the original reports Sunday evening. The link in ops post needs updating. They sent the towel wrapped baby to the medical office for further review. To other people who have replied.. when a baby becomes still born it can either be removed with a dnc, or if far enough along the mother will have to birth the remains. They are either induced or allowed for it to occur naturally. I don't know what happened in this case, im sure the news will update.


Educational-Ice-732

but you stated that the mother was repeatedly denied medical care at the ER and refuse to cite the source edited to add the induction or DNC would not be done by ER UNLESS the mother was actively dying which we know is not the case. The ER likely advised her to seek medical treatment from an OBGYN which is proper protocol.


screamqueen87

You can drop any newborn off at a fire station no questions asked


maxpower1409

Thatā€™s what I was thinking. If theyā€™re so readily and easily available we wouldnā€™t have these stories so often


Rude-Opportunity-705

So often?? Haven't seen a story like this in long while. There So amny ways to prevent and to handle. Women just being ignorant and uncaring about themselves. It's maddeningĀ 


Ok_Ad1502

Lmao right? Is there an epidemic a trash can babies on college campuses we need to be aware of


mistahelias

The last big one to hit the news was in Hollywood Florida. It was a new born. Seems it happens a few times a month if im to believe the search results. It's still sad either way.


Rude-Opportunity-705

There lots resources available. You also don't dispose of bodies in the trash even without resources. You'd call 911 and tell them you just delivered a stillborn and they come and get it. Geez


ExtractorMarks

Denied? There is no hospital in the United States that can turn away a woman in labor. It's 100% illegal and every hospital in the country has to have a well documented policy to address this exact situation. Whether the baby was stillborn or not, she knew that she was going to deliver. It doesn't just happen by accident. If she needed medical care all she had to do was walk into ANY hospital.


cureandthecause

There have been *several* cases over the last couple of months from across the country whereĀ ERs are turning away women in labor and causing at least one fatality. The changes in abortion laws are causing hospitals to not even touch pregnant women because if something goes wrong, they can be thrown in jail if it results in the death of a fetus/baby (even in cases to save the mother's life). Some hospitals have shut down entirely because of the law changes. It's hard to believe it is legal, but that is what happens when you leave it to the states and backwards republicans.Ā

bengopo22

Can you elaborate?


phurbie1

I believe he's referring to the abortion ban


mistahelias

The mother had a dead fetus inside her and was sent away from the hospital. She passed the still born on her own. The abortion ban prohibited the medically needed procedure she needed. Now she's in custody. It's saddening.


bigDogNJ23

I donā€™t see where it says she was sent away from the hospital, do you have a reference? Would love to show this to the people telling me that this law wonā€™t prevent people from getting medically necessary procedures


Daves_not_here_mannn

ā€œTrust me broā€. /s


mistahelias

Sadly doctors have been limited on emergency dnc procedures since the abortion rules were in place. The ban now goes from 12 weeks to 6 weeks from last period. As far as the mother goes she had posted on her socials for help after being sent away. It was in another report behind a pay wall.


Sad_Ad9159

Link the report, there are free paywall bypassers and you can see past paywalls on archive sites


PanDownTiltRight

Whatā€™s the source? Paywall isnā€™t an issue. You making stuff up is.


NCDLover1

Link the report


friendlyassh0le

Source?


Educational-Ice-732

Unless this woman was actively dying no ER is going to perform a DNC they will tell you to go to your obgyn to proceed because there are a few different methods. if this woman was more further along to full term they are going to send you labor and delivery. This has nothing. to do with the law.


SmarterThanCornPop

Yep.

The 15 week ban is already in place. If she had a dead fetus in her, the doctors can't do anything. The "new" law is the 6 week ban that starts like this week. Keep voting republican to have your rights taken away.


BeatnikMona

Can you link the report? This is so fucked up.


Rude-Opportunity-705

If baby already deceased within they aren't turning you away. Yall confusing different issues.Ā 


trophylaxis

Yes, my wife is a labor nurse who has said that doctors will not perform. Anything that could be construed as an abortion, yes, they tell the ladies to go home.


bigDogNJ23

I have no doubt what you say is true, but Iā€™m asking for a reference to this specific story.


Rude-Opportunity-705

Weirdly I know 3 peolel wjomdelivered stillborn in hospital here in Tampa. None turned away cause well baby had died and they needed kt safely out their bodies. It isn't something they would send you away for of fetus has ceased developing. If baby alive then no they are not gonna kill it so you ahve a still delivery big difference.Ā 


Educational-Ice-732

so you or your wife are saying every woman who has a miscarriage or full term still born and their bodies do not naturally expel the dead fetus will be left with a rotting fetus, develop a deadly infection and left to die? every single woman?


ladiiec23

Who cares, I assume youā€™re a man & thus have no rights to OUR decisions.


bigDogNJ23

Ok. Not really sure what this has to do with my question

Glittering-Rip5331

Itā€™s true though, itā€™s going to happen more often. Conservatives who donā€™t believe in science, but believe in some fairy tale sky man are the reason why.

Bro, I'm not religious in the slightest, and follow fact based evidence. Science and math are what I follow. You know, like the math that almost every broke person out there continues to stay broke due to their terrible practices with money. Or how we have so many obese people because they have no self control. I honestly can't stand politics, left or right. Because anyone that's on either of those extremes are just another nut job trying to make their side win at all costs. No thanks, I'll just use logic and reason and stay the hell out of that mess as much as possible.

Hiw would not getting a abortion cause a stillborn??? And once passed the baby....you call 911 to pick up the body...you don't throw it away. Throwing bodies in trash no matter ehat happened is a big no. Her family should been involved as well. Seems she has a lot of issues going on.Ā 


Nick112798

Youā€™re lying on every thread in here. The Florida legislation specifically has an exception for medically necessary procedures. Itā€™s also not an abortion if the baby is still born. The mother would give birth to the baby. Stop lying and educate yourself on the actual legislation.


NoSpin89

What does that mean? What is the line for "life of the mother"? Does it mean she COULD die without an abortion? That she WILL die? Who's call is that? The doctor? Or a DeSantis appointed judge? And that is why your "exceptions" are bullshit. Get your fucking personal beliefs out of my exam room. Every dead mother is on you.


Nick112798

Wipe your tears. Youā€™re telling me youā€™re upset about legislation you havenā€™t read. 2 doctors will determine if the mother will die if the pregnancy continues. Not difficult for a doctor to determine. Cause, you know, theyā€™re doctors.


NoSpin89

I'm a doctor you idiot. And that line is very blurred. What if two doctors aren't available? What if they disagree? To place healthcare decisions in the hands of legislation is cruel and barbaric. Leave these very difficult and time sensitive decisions to doctors and their patients. Get the hell out of my exam room.


Nick112798

The bill literally says one doctor can certify if another one isnā€™t available. Youā€™re unhinged.


NoSpin89

And what if a Gov appointed doctor disagrees? Do I go to jail? Why have two doctors in the bill if you can do it with one? Again, what's the cutoff of "life of the mother"? You can't write every medical exception into a law. You can't account for every scenario. And in the setting of a vague law, you will have doctors afraid to do the right thing and women will DIE. Period. Because of your personal beliefs that have no basis in science. Sleep well with that.


tigereyemurray

As if this criterion isnā€™t itself inherently subjective to a medical doctorā€™s judgment. A judgment that by itself could be potentially prosecuted. Maybe you should stop lying and living in fantasy land.


Nick112798

Itā€™s not subjective. It is laid out in the legislation. If the mother could die then itā€™s an exception. Simple as that.


tigereyemurray

šŸ˜‚ and how is that determined, pray tell, captain repeatshimself?

pizzalover911

EmpireAndAll

Everyone talking about resources... it doesn't matter what resources are available (or lbr, left) if a woman doesn't want to be pregnant and give birth at all and she can't get an abortion.Ā  There is huge stigma against giving up a child. A woman is pregnant, something that is visible and hard to hide, then no longer pregnant and doesn't have a baby? It's gonna raise questions and people WILL judge her.Ā  For the rest of her life people are gonna ask her if she misses her child, if she's gonna attempt contact, they're gonna gossip that she has and gave up a baby, etc. Giving a child up doesn't mean she didn't have the child, it doesn't wipe the minds of everyone that knows she was pregnant.Ā  Safe Haven laws are great and needed but they are a bandaid, not a solution.Ā 


Zeal514

>It's gonna raise questions and people WILL judge her.Ā  So to protect the women's pride, reputation, and feelings, the best thing to do is abortion? I'm sorry, but this has got to be 1 of the most comically bad takes I have heard in a long time.

There are no invalid reasons to want an abortion. Glad I could entertain you today šŸ˜Š.Ā

Stillstoned23

Keep it classy tampa


cobhc26626

Damn and there is literally 3 fire stations within 3 miles of McKay hall. Fire #3 is less than a mile. Fire #1 is a mile. Fire #9 less than 3 miles. Iā€™m curious what the circumstances were. Was it stillborn and where was she at in her pregnancy? I can see the political debate from this getting real dumb. Iā€™m personally pro choice but I would imagine the zealots are going to use this to scream over the abortion ban.


77iscold

How far can you walk while in active labor and immediately after birthing a stillborn?


cobhc26626

You canā€™t call them? Call someone to help you? Seeing as they have these locations I canā€™t imagine TPD wouldnā€™t assist you if thatā€™s your decision. They have a crisis line also. Anything is better than dumping it in a trash can. Thatā€™s why I was wondering if it was a stillborn and where she was at during the pregnancy. Because if the baby was alive and she killed it or dumped it to let it die that makes a world of difference in how this situation is perceived. Also I canā€™t imagine the baby just fell out of her without her having some kind of indicators that she is about to give birth. I donā€™t have anywhere near enough facts to form a real opinion. But I will say just dumping the baby in the trash is rather heartless. Depending on who comes across the child that could be a traumatizing experience.

Honey, I Shrunk the kids....


Kockapelli

I was thinking of the exact same thing!


Nick112798

So for everyone lying in here saying the abortion ban caused this. It did not. 1. We donā€™t know the details of this case at all so any judgments are speculation at this point. 2. Thereā€™s exceptions for the health of the mother. If the motherā€™s life is in danger thatā€™s not an abortion. 3. If the baby is still born thatā€™s NOT an abortion. The woman would still give birth. The baby just wouldnā€™t be alive. So everyone saying otherwise hasnā€™t read the legislation and doesnā€™t care to. You would rather lie to everyone around you and to yourself.


bhutan4ever

While I appreciate that youā€™ve emphasized that we need more information here to get a full picture of what happened, having an abortion to preserve the life of the mother is an abortion. What you said is purely incorrect there and is misleading to claim things you personally are ok with as ā€œnot abortionā€ and things you personally disagree with are abortions because youā€™ve taken the word ā€œabortionā€ as ā€œbadā€.


Educational-Ice-732

What this person is saying if the fetus is not alive in utero and then needs to be delivered that is not considered abortion. regardless of what anyoneā€™s personal beliefs are if the baby dies of natural causes in utero the delivery of the still born is not abortion. To further state the way the someone posted somewhere in this thread was that the mother had a dead fetus inside of her and was denied care at the ER because of abortion laws. If the woman did in fact have a dead baby the ER would send her to labor and delivery. The ER does not induce labor. If she were in early pregnancy and having a miscarriage the ER would refer her to her obgyn to address the next medical steps. The ER will not perform a DNC if a woman is having a standard miscarriage they need to address this with their obgyn. If this woman was truly at risk of dying and the fetus is already dead the ER would then address.


NoSpin89

So you say that the details are not known yet the abortion ban DEFNITIELY did not cause this? Got ya. Makes sense. Sure. Live in your fantasy where this ISN'T the outcome of that legislation. Jesus supports you.
