NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The county sheriff said Friday he hopes that the people who threw a newborn boy out of a moving car are feeling remorse and will come forward.
Investigators are trying to identify the couple who threw the boy, believed to be less than an hour old, alongside a busy street Thursday afternoon, Broward County Sheriff Ken Jenne said. The car then sped away.
I know this is harsh, but I think these people, once they are found, ought to be run over by a garbage truck, and then thrown in the garbage truck, where they belong. Hearing stories like this only increases the love I have for my children.
Update: Apparantly, we were swindled:
NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Authorities said Friday that the story of a newborn boy who survived being thrown out of a moving car was made up by a depressed woman.
The 8-pound, 2-ounce boy, who was believed to be less than an hour old and whose umbilical cord was still attached when he came into the custody of authorities on Thursday, was in good condition at a hospital in Fort Lauderdale.
Broward County Sheriff Ken Jenne said at a news conference Friday afternoon that the boy was “absolutely perfect.” Nurses at the hospital have nicknamed him Johnny after the doctor who first treated him Thursday, he said.
Jenne said the baby was taken to a local sheriff’s office Thursday by a woman who said she saw it being tossed from a moving car, wrapped in plastic. She claimed that a man and a woman were arguing in the car at the time, he said.
In fact, Jenne said, the Good Samaritan, the woman in the car and the baby’s mother were one and the same, identified as Patricia Pokriots, 38, a barmaid for a non-profit fraternal organization.
I still believe there are sick people in our world.
