Newborn Baby Discarded by Parents Sinead Harrison, 18, & Landis Moore, 19, Dies, Charges Could be Upgraded After Autopsy

I have to start off by asking, why is it that some people who don't deservet to have children are the most fertile, while there are many who would be good parents and they can't conceive children? Atlanta residents Sinead Harrison, 18, and Landis Moore, 19, are two scumbags who do not deserve to have any children. They are the parents of a newborn baby who was abandoned in a storm drain. The baby has since died and they should face murder charges for their actions. As a mother of two children I cannot fathom ever harming my children, let alone an innocent baby. I want to protect my children, not put them in harm's way. This is unconscionable and these two scumbags should not see the outside of a prison wall again for a long time.

DeKalb County police said they found the baby abandoned in a storm drain at about 4:30 a.m. Thursday. They were following a tip from Sinead Harrison who told police that she gave birth to the baby in a gas station restroom and then she put the baby in a dumpster near Wesley Chapel Road. Police said they searched the dumpster but did not find the baby. This idiot also gave police her boyfriend's address. Police questioned Landis Moore, and he allegedly confessed that his girlfriend had given birth to their son in the house and then he had put the baby in the storm drain. They discarded the baby like he was garbage. This woman is old enough to know what can happen when you have unprotected sex. She's old enough to know that this baby did not deserve to be discarded like trash. She could have had the baby in a hospital and gave him up for adoption. They should both be tried for murder.

Officials said the baby boy had been in the drain for "several hours" but he was initially expected to survive. He died Thursday evening. "They located the baby inside that storm drain … I don't know how the condition was but I know that she did give birth early Thursday morning and it was placed in that storm drain and had been there for a few hours. But it was alive and it was transported," said Officer Jason Gagnon with the DeKalb County Police Department.

Channel 2 Action News reporter Richard Elliot talked to Moore and asked, "Police say the baby was alive when they pulled him out of the storm drain, but you say it was a miscarriage?" "It was a miscarriage," responded Moore. Source: WSBTV

Even if this was a miscarriage, you just don't leave the baby like trash in a storm drain. The boyfriend is a dirtbag for allowing her to do this. He is just as guilty in the terrible fate this baby met as she is. They face child cruelty charges, but charges could be upgraded after the autopsy and they should.

 Landis Stewart-Moore (Dekalb County Jail)

UPDATE#1:  The bond for these two baby killers have been set at $50,000. With any luck they will sit in prison until it's time for their trials. It turns out that Landis Stewart-Moore is no stranger to the penal system. He was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault and kidnapping in connection with the April 2008 robbery of a Candler Road hamburger stand. Last month, he was arrested for marijuana possession, according to jail records. So, with his criminal record, he should get the maximum sentence allowed under the law.

What is unconscionable is the fact that this woman, according to media reports, didn't hide her pregnancy. So, why discard the baby like trash? If these two idiots had taken the time to find out what resources were available to them to give the baby up for adoption, then they could have avoided the prospect of prison altogether. They could have left the baby with an on-duty hospital worker. Georgia's Safe Place for Newborns Act of 2002 allows a mother to leave her newborn baby within seven days of birth at any hospital in the state. The newborn must be left with a hospital employee and the mother must leave her name and address.

Police: Janesia Williams Left Twin Infants In Car As She Shopped At Wal-Mart

Once again, another mother has landed on the wrong side of the law. Janesia Williams, 26, has been arrested and charged with child cruelty for leaving her 4-month-old infant twins in a car while she shopped at a local Wal-Mart. Police said it happened Saturday at the Wal-Mart on Anvil Block Road in Ellenwood, Ga. The temperatures in the Atlanta metropolitan area hovered around 90 degrees, so you can just imagine how hot that car was. You would think this woman would use better judgment. There's nothing that pressing going on in Wal-Mart or any store for that matter for one to leave their children in the sweltering heat in one's automobile. This is unconscionable and she should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

According to media reports, a passer-by noticed the kids alone in the car and called police. The police said she left a crack in the car windows and that’s how authorities were able to remove the children, who were believed to have been inside the vehicle for about 30 minutes.

Police said the children’s father picked them up from the hospital, but Williams was taken to jail. She remained at the Clayton County jail Sunday morning on child cruelty charges,No bond has been set. How stupid can one be? I know she didn't think that she would have gotten away with such cruelty to her kids. This leads me to believe that this isn't the first time she did this.

As part of her punishment, she should be taken to Death Valley and left in her car, with the windows up, for 30 minutes. For those of you who don't know this, Death Valley, Ca., is a desert located in the southwestern United States. It is the lowest, dryest, and hottest location in North America.
