TOTALLY GEEKED!

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Pregnant woman who inexplicably vanished on the day lost her child

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Did she go have a late term abortion or give birth in a hotel or what?

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

I don't think the most dedicated abortion provider would perform an abortion on a woman who was 9 months pregnant.

I am sorry for the loss. But something isn't right here.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

This whole story isn't right. It makes zero sense.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

She was already a high risk pregnancy. And maybe the disappearance was related to knowing something was wrong. People can sense things and it may have made her act wierd.

That's a possibility. It could have been grief that caused her to act strangely. If she somehow knew the baby was in distress why didn't she go to the hospital ?

Maybe the baby had already died. And she just wanted to be alone with her.

Just a possibility, but maybe she hadn't felt the baby move for a day or two. She may have already been mourning her loss and didn't want to face it.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

O4, we had the same thought.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Not moving in the final days of pregnancy is totally normal. That usually means the baby's head is engaged in the pelvis and its showtime.

The baby will still try to stretch, move their elbows and knees. DD said all her kids moved a lot before birth.

msrock · Guru

Maybe she was never pregnant to begin with? I have no idea but I don't think she ran off because the baby "died". That doesn't make sense to me.

Ohfour · Hooker

I had a late miscarriage. I knew that my baby was not alive. I just knew. There was no doubt. Sometimes you just know. And yes, they don't moves as much, but there is still movement. The aren't paralyzed...

I don't think so. I think the baby is dead otherwise they wouldn't say the Child is lost. I think she had an abortion or tossed the baby into a dumpster.

Where would she get a late-term abortion? I do think the baby is dead, though.

From some hack who wants cash. Why not?

Lost to them. Not lost to the world.

I'm going to remain optimistic.

I take "loss" to mean died - not killed it.

Riding · Guru

but (not knowing all details) but if she left an hour prior to her scheduled C-section she knew she had to have for serious health reasons.....and then being found 6 days later and now no baby. IMHO that is in a way *killing* your child by your actions....or inactions in this situation. But beyond all of that, I cannot not imagine what was going through her mind and what would have led her to that choice. I wish she and her family peace and healing.

I agree. If she killed the child it would be all over the news but since it is not and she had a name already picked out for her I really doubt that she purpously killed her. Either she had a stillbirth and is lucky to be alive or she was never pregnant. Her daughter lived in another state so it could have been easy to fool her. She may have some mental issues and the family is protecting her in any case.

Wait, we had this thread, or else I am living in a parallel world.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

We had it but she was lost and they had just found her and taken her to the hospital. I think this is an update.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Dead

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Actually. I think the story was a lie. No pregnancy at all. A faker.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I wonder why the police would say she was pregnant?

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

They had to follow the lead based on what the daughter said. I think this was a big fraud.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Nah, I had a pregnancy and he died. I knew the moment he died. I was scheduled for a procedure to take him, scheduled before he passed, he had so many things wrong with him the docs wanted to perform so many surgeries on him, most never performed prior, this was 1984. When he passed 3 days prior I was calm, sad, but calm. It meant he would not face a lifetime of surgeries and lord knows what else. He was taken at a perfect time, prior to having to make difficult declensions and such. I was blessed and I don't know why I don't go to church given what I was given. This mom probably new the baby died and wanted alone time. I understand that.

I had the same experience... I totally understand. 😞

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I think she faked it. 49? Nah.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

I went to the original news article. One of the posts (made by a family friend) makes the comment that she knew the baby was stillborn before the scheduled C-section.
She probably was not able to deal with the death of her daughter.

Then say that. You don't get to claim "privacy" if you disappear the day before you are scheduled to have a baby and then reappear later with no baby and no pregnancy. That HAS to be explained.

Ohfour · Hooker

Yeah, I'm reading more and more articles that lead me to believe she was never pregnant.

'There was nothing to charge her with, no criminal action. She's getting the help she needs,' the representative said.

In a message posted on Facebook on June 9, Bradshaw-Crowther's brother, Drew Bradshaw, said his sister was hospitalized shortly after she was found.

'While it is unfortunate, we no longer expect a new addition to our family and ask for your continued prayers,' he said.

I think it was explained to the Police. They don't necessarily have to publish that. But, if the baby was given up for adoption or found dead, then that would have to be investigated. They wouldn't just close the book that fast. So, I think that she was never pregnant.

If there was nothing to charge her with, then she didn't just give the baby up for adoption. You can't just hand your kid off to someone at a moment's notice. If the baby was found dead, even IF natural causes, that would have had to investigated by a coroner to determine cause. Deaths in that manner are coroner's cases. And, "Getting the help she needs" leads me to believe there was some kind of deception and mental health issue playing out.

I'm not willing to just take her word for it--and I hope the authorities aren't, either.

Yes, you can. They are called safe harbor laws. She could have walked into any hospital, fire station, police station, and sometimes churches and hand off the kid.

You think she just gave birth in her car or a hotel with a high risk pregnancy and then just wrapped up the baby and dropped it off somewhere in a basket? I doubt it.

Exactly. This should be thoroughly investigated.

She was scheduled for a C-section.

And it's easy enough for a doctor to tell if a woman has given birth or not.

Your comment was very general, and incorrect. I have no idea what this woman actually did; but I know what she could have legally done.

Yes, you can. They are called safe harbor laws. She could have walked into any hospital, fire station, police station, and sometimes churches and hand off the kid.

"Best Answer: Once the safe haven provider has notified the local child welfare department that an infant has been relinquished, the department assumes custody of the infant as an abandoned child. The department has responsibility for placing the infant, usually in a preadoptive home, and for petitioning the court for termination of the birth parent's parental rights. Before the baby is placed in a preadoptive home, 12 States require the department to request the local law enforcement agency to determine whether the baby has been reported as a missing child.17 In addition, four States (Illinois, Missouri, Utah, and Wyoming) require the department to check the putative father registry before a termination of parental rights petition can be filed. ''

So, that is not an adoption. Doesn't mean the child can't be adopted but you are forgetting there is a so called father here with parental rights too.

Then that's what needs to happen and the baby, if there was one, needs to be accounted for. If she was never pregnant, fine, send her to the looney bin.

If they baby is dead--then an autopsy needs to be performed to see if it was stillborn, died after birth of natural causes, or was deliberately killed.

If it is alive--then where the fvck is it?

She SAID she was scheduled for a c section. A doctor has not verified that.

No, we need to know. Society has a right to know if a child was killed. This isn't a privacy matter.

There was supposedly a baby--and now there's not.

If an 8 year old child suddenly disappeared you don't think society should know about it?
