Stillborn baby thrown out with the hospital trash

oohhhhh outrage outrage outrage! Rabble rabble rabble. Pent up anger! Outrage......

The first thing I thought of when I saw the title was "WTF?" I'm honestly at a lost for words. Newborn babies aren't huge but they also aren't small enough to be mistaken for something other than a human being that needs to be thrown in the trash. Like a few others before me have said, I, too, would like to know what kind of punishment the hospital staff could face for this.

Aww, New Jersey. Yet another state that has given me another reason to believe it has no redeeming qualities.

Someone needs to lose their job and the mother will receive compensation probably in the millions as it should be. But some anti tort nut will see it another way and say she shouldn't get a dime.
it's a pathetic world we live in.

They need to figure out who threw the baby out, and press charges. It doesn't matter whether it died or not, the family still deserves to decide what happens to the baby.

Thats terrible... hospitals need to be made safer.... I was visiting a sick friend one time and i swear every half an hour there was a code blue because someone fell...... pretty terrible.... small town hospitals are the way to go

Like my grandma used to always say, "Don't throw the stem-cells out with the bathwater."

I don't think this should be a story about abortion, you guys XD

The point is that they threw the baby away and it didn't get a funeral! Not that the hospital was pro-abortion! The doctors and nurses were obviously just stupid idiots who were being thoughtless and careless.

I don't think any nurse or doctor would throw a baby away on purpose without telling the mother. Something must have happened.. They must have made a mistake. It wasn't like it was an abortion clinic, was it?

Kudos to them for letting mom hold the baby. That is a practice that they finally started doing even if they think the baby is going to die, or is stillborn. They used to just take them away and the mother didn't even get the short bonding.

Come on, how can a little baby wind up in trash. Someone major screwed up. If that was my baby, it would feel like DOUBLE tragedy knowing that Professional Caretakers thought of the baby as rubbish. Shame.

"A stillborn is not considered a person under New Jersey law" But the mother still is, right? Imagine how he would have felt if that were his child? I can't even imagine what that woman is going through.

Shame on them. That baby may not have lived outside the womb but he lived. He grew and his mother felt him move and kick inside her. Even if they don't respect the baby's body they should have more respect for his mother.

This story made me want to vomit.

Sad.

Err.. I really am lost for words with this one. As always_there said.. Wonder what the consequences to the hospital and staff will be in these circumstances.

An unbelievable and tragic story, condolences to the parents. Wonder what the consequences to the hospital and staff will be ?
