Baby Nearly Starves After Being Left Alone 3 Weeks

20-Year-Old Mother Is Behind Bars

 

COVINGTON, Ohio -- Police said a 7-month-old baby was nearly starved to death by his own mother, WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported.

 

The mother, 20-year-old Ashley Traylor, left the boy alone for up to three weeks without food, police said. She is in jail, charged with criminal abuse, and the baby is at Children's Hospital in fair condition.

 

A suspicious neighbor saved the boy by entering Traylor's apartment when she was gone, the station reported.

 

"His face was all sunk in like he'd been starving in there," said Antonio Farmer, who discovered the baby.

 

The baby was barely conscious, wearing a filthy diaper, police said.

 

"He couldn't have weighed more than 5 or 10 pounds. He didn't have enough energy to cry," Farmer said.

 

Another neighbor said Traylor once told her "she didn't want the baby, she was going to throw him in the river."

 

Other residents in Traylor's apartment building said she tried to cover up the abuse by lying to them. They said they saw Traylor with her 3-year-old girl, but the baby was nowhere in sight.

 

"I asked her several times where the baby was and she kept saying, 'with a baby-sitter,'" a neighbor said. "It kind of makes me mad at myself because I always had a small suspicion and I never acted on it."

 

But Farmer acted on his before it was too late.

 

"She was basically taking his chance of life from him. I don't think they should let her out," Farmer said.

 

Traylor's little girl is with a foster family, a neighbor said. The baby will likely end up in a foster home, too.

 

Traylor is set to become a mother again. She is four months pregnant, neighbors said.

 

 

Oh joy.. :headshake

She'll get 15 months and be out and have custody of the two children she didn't try to kill. 

 

Why is adoption not an issue for so many people?

Because the pro-choicers won't let them be informed about their choices.

See, what you do is you let her have the baby, find a good home for him/her, then shoot the mom and dump her body in a garbage dump. Simple solution really.

I think I'd go with her own preferred method and let the little b**** starve to death, since she thinks that's OK to do to her own kid.

Worthless waste of space.
