Mother in Guyana dropped NEW BORN BABY in latrine pit. {This is crazy}

The case of the baby born on April 2, last, —Good Friday—and who was also slated to die on that same day after his mother delivered him and dropped him into a latrine pit, has taken another interesting turn.
Neighbours of the young woman rescued the baby and rushed him to the Georgetown Public Hospital where doctors managed to save his life.
The baby boy was transferred to post-natal care and the matter was referred to the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security where it fell under the jurisdiction of the Child Protection Agency.
On Tuesday the child was released to the relatives of the baby’s mother so that the baby may receive care from family rather than be sent to a home for children. The age of the child was a determining factor.
The young mother was subsequently admitted to counseling.
An official stated that the state’s policy is not to separate a child from its family unless the circumstances are truly dire. In this case the child is under the supervision of the young woman’s family.
The mother is allowed to feed the child and be around him but she needs to be supervised by her family. She is also required to continue the counseling that she is currently undergoing. Meanwhile, the Child Protection Agency will continue to monitor the situation carefully since the child remains under the care of the state.
One friend of the baby’s mother said that it was an accident; that the woman never tried to harm the child. A relative also told this newspaper that the woman is married and that her husband who resides in Barbados is oblivious that his wife was pregnant. “He does not know that his wife was pregnant much less that she has given birth.”
The police had launched an investigation into the matter but it is unclear at the moment what the outcome of that investigation is.

Comment by Oliver F. Sampson on April 22, 2010 at 2:31pm: This is crazy and I agree with most of you here, I espeially agree that it sounds like she got pregnant for someone else while her husband is in Barbados. How could he not even know his wife is pregnant with his child? Why did she not tell him she pregnant for him?
I think she did panic but I also think what they are doing is a refreshing attitude towards this. The child is better off in the family rather than with strangers. Lord know we've heard many stories about foster kids being abused to the point of death and we don't yet know if she has mental problems or not. I'm guessing the husband knows what happened by now and this just might make her come to her senses and be a real mother to her baby. I also agree if this happened in America she would be doing some serious time in jail or mental facility and the baby would be long gone

Comment by Debbie Arbuckle on April 22, 2010 at 1:26pm: this story doesn't make any sense....the child doesn't seem safe in this environment.....the husband didn't know wifey was pregnant nor that she gave birth,and the mother is allowed to have dealings with the child with supervision. Who is responsible to supervise those who were given the task of supervising....I believe this child may strive better if removed from this dysfunctional family.
