ooreogg Posted May 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I was on that cruise. We could see the police but had no idea what happened until after we got home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrier1961 Posted May 5, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 5, 2015 First, why is this not murder? Second, how in Gods name did her room-mate not know about this? Giving birth is very, very messy. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglinc@msn.com Posted May 5, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Eight years in prison is too light, IMO. Is agree, 25 would have been much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volmoma Posted May 5, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 5, 2015 If she had been smart enough to throw the baby overboard she wouldn't have gotten 8 years...this makes me soooooo sick... She will answer to higher judge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor_jimc Posted May 5, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 5, 2015 For a person to hide the fact that they are pregnant and to give birth alone and then hide that fact under the bed (and a live baby no doubt) has to have some serious mental illness issues. So while this is horrible and most if not all of you could never conceive of doing that, many people are found "not guilty be reason of insanity" Even temporary insanity...

I'm pulling the plug from cruising on that ship today. Way outside the bounds of normalcy, and so gross I can't believe what this woman did.

marshhawk Posted May 5, 2015 #13 Share Posted May 5, 2015 and besides the 8 years, lets give her an education on birth control, biology, and how not to party-I worked with someone years ago, who was 8 months along and didn't know she was pregnant, so yes there are people out there who live in denial. so sad. so very sad.

eponym Posted May 5, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/04/30/indiana-woman-who-secretly-gave-birth-on-carnival-cruise-to-plead-guilty-to-involuntary-manslaughter/ The headline should really read, "Pregnant Woman kills her newborn on Carnival Cruise." Unbelievable. Had she tossed it overboard, instead of stuffing it under the bed alive, no one would allegedly have known anything about it according to the story.

Luv2Cruz35 Posted May 5, 2015 #15 Share Posted May 5, 2015 She should have gotten more then just 8 years. It just amazes me the things that people do. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted May 5, 2015 #16 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Had she tossed it overboard, instead of stuffing it under the bed alive, no one would allegedly have known anything about it according to the story. I've been present at two births, and unless this woman did an amazing job cleaning up, I doubt that nobody would've ever known anything about it.

justusfour2014 Posted May 5, 2015 #17 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I cannot imagine what went through that cabin steward's mind when they found the baby wrapped in a towel and disposed of under the bed. . . . how utterly sad and senseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandet Posted May 5, 2015 #19 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I cannot imagine what went through that cabin steward's mind when they found the baby wrapped in a towel and disposed of under the bed. . . . how utterly sad and senseless. I agree! i hope that steward got a couple days off paid to get better that would ruin my day and I wouldnt be able to work anytime soon...how sad. Some people cant have kidds and want them some have them and dont want them...upside down world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatRat416 Posted May 5, 2015 #20 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Was this woman over or under the pregnancy deadline? She didn't tell anyone she was pregnant....it says even her traveling companions didn't know....So it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardeneroflove Posted May 5, 2015 #21 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Was this woman over or under the pregnancy deadline? I doubt carnival can straight up ask you, miss, are you pregnant? how far along? oh, you're just fat? I'm sorry miss....can you pee on a stick to prove that? yeah...no.

Gardeneroflove Posted May 5, 2015 #22 Share Posted May 5, 2015 First, why is this not murder?Second, how in Gods name did her room-mate not know about this? Giving birth is very, very messy. Andy She didn't kill the baby, sounds like it was still born or dead after birth. I'm assuming she just freaked out? IDk...i can't imagine not knowing, then having a dead baby.. plus, this was in 2011? why posting this now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illyria Posted May 5, 2015 #23 Share Posted May 5, 2015 And...I might sleep in that cabin coming up on our cruise? I'm pulling the plug from cruising on that ship today. Overreacting much? It's been over 2 and a half years since that happened. The only reason someone posted it today is because the trial has just concluded last month.

Gardeneroflove Posted May 5, 2015 #25 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Article says otherwise ack. I can't edit. Sorry, clearly, I can't read. I read she was pregnant and, after the birth, she hid her child, who died. Not who was killed. yes, it was murder, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
