The
Washington Post has a report this morning about
women who perform "Caesarean kidnapping" or fetal abduction. The details are sufficiently grim that I will place the rest of this below the fold...
"Perhaps the most shocking element of Wednesday’s tragic events
in Longmont, Colo., where a mother allegedly cut a baby from a
26-year-old pregnant woman, is that it wasn’t an isolated incident...
It has roots in an earlier rash of kidnappings in the 1990s, when a
string of baby snatchers descended upon North American hospitals and
made off with infants. But as hospitals adapted to the troubling trend,
installing more secure tracking measures, the phenomenon took a gruesome
turn...
The women who do these sort of things aren’t insane, she said. Quite the contrary. They recognize a want — and act upon it.
There’s no shortage of examples... Porter counted 21 instances globally since 1987, saying the phenomenon is increasing. All of the “womb raiders,” as they’re sometimes called, are women."
More details at the
Washington Post, for those who want them.
Happened within 5 miles of me. Woman started shadowing the pregnant lady, faking her own "pregnancy" telling people about it (pillows under the shirt, etc), set up a nursery... then tracked down the lady and cut out the baby she wanted in a shed.
