Newborn tossed out of car window
Friday, February 11, 2005
NORTH LAUDERDALE, Florida (AP) -- A newborn is in serious condition after it was tossed out a car window onto the grass beside a busy street Thursday afternoon, authorities said. The car sped off.
Investigators were seeking the parents of the boy, whose umbilical cord was still attached when he was found by a woman passer-by. Doctors believe the infant was less than an hour old at the time.
Broward County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Leljedal said the woman brought the infant to the sheriff's office. The baby was taken to Broward General Medical Center, which upgraded his condition from critical to serious Thursday night.
It was unclear what injuries the eight-pound, two-ounce child suffered.
The woman who rescued the baby -- who was inside a small plastic bag -- said she saw a man and woman arguing inside the vehicle.
The baby was thrown from the passenger side, landing three or four feet away in the grass.
No information was released on the baby's identity.
North Lauderdale is about 13 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale.

well that's just fucked... and assuming it's difficult to drive an hour after giving birth i can only assume the mother was the one in the passenger seat (not important, just horrible).
i think this is one case of unwanted pregnancy were the parents should have been terminated.
