Mom who dumps newborn baby stays in jail
Her lawyer is appealing that decision. “I believe that my client does not belong in prison and that she needs the necessary medical and psychological support to cope with all this,” it sounds.
She is now in prison and has been arrested on suspicion of infanticide and culpable neglect. Further investigation must show whether she deliberately killed her baby, or whether the child died after birth.
The baby was found dead in De Blauwe Poort, a social district in Bruges. The autopsy shows that the baby was born alive.
