Infant left alive to die!

Associated Press- Twenty year old Ciara Craig will be charged with first degree murder after dumping her own baby into a Louisiana river. Ciara had stated that she had a one night stand and had gotten pregnant from it. She claims she wasn't ready to have a baby, and had considered abortion but the pregnancy was too far along. She had hidden the pregnancy from her grandmother with whom she lived with, and had the baby at home as well.
As the law goes in Louisiana, any child murdered under the age of 12, will be prosecuted with first degree murder and can result in the death penalty. A witness claims that Craig had drove up to the river, walked out of the car with a black bag in her hand. She had placed the bag into the river and walked back slowly to the car and drove off into the night. The infants heart was supposedly still beating when Craig had thrown her into the river. Officers say Craig had so many other options to have considered and it kills that she ignored all of them. Results to this case are still being investigated and the autopsy of the baby girl will be occuring this afternoon (2/11/09).
For those who have infants and feel you are not ready to raise a child, there are many places where you can drop the baby off. Any precinct or hospital will glady take your child and press no charges, the will just make sure the baby is healthy and in it's best conditions. You can seek help or talk to someone you confide in that will give you the best advice. Never take a child's life out of selfishness. Remember you are given the gift of life and prosperity and that gift should be given to anyone.
