baby found in bag floating!

Crowds of people have mobbed a hospital in Brazil hoping to adopt a baby girl who was rescued on Saturday from a black plastic bag floating in a lake.
The hospital in Belo Horizonte has been inundated with offers to adopt the two-month-old and telephone lines are jammed, officials said.

Amateur footage of the baby's rescue was broadcast on Brazilian TV, sparking the huge public interest.

The baby's mother was arrested on Sunday but denies attempted murder.

Police said Simone Cassiano da Silva put the baby into a bag, placed her on a wooden board and set her adrfit on Pampulha Lake, 340km (210 miles) north of Rio de Janeiro.

The 27-year-old denied abandoning her baby and said she gave her to a group of homeless people because she did not have enough money to raise the child.

"I couldn't stay with her," da Silva told AP Television News.

"I asked them to leave the baby in some place for me, because I did not want to see it," she said.

Da Silva was arrested after workers at the hospital's maternity ward told police the child had been born there.

The baby was released into the care of local child protection authorities on Monday.

A hospital spokewoman said it was up to the Juvenile Court to decide whether the girl goes to a family or to a shelter.

A stone hearted mother. What was she thinking:rant: .

[fantaxxy_moon]

oooh ooh, this is very sad, umm, maybe she got the baby by a haram way, that's why she didn't want it, but she shouldn't have done that, there are so many good ways to solve problems, but not to solve them by dangerous ways:heated:

I feel for the mother, she obviously didnt have the support from her family. Maybe she was suffering from Post natal depression.....my heart goes out to people like this..

May Allah protect her and the baby...ameen

Alhamdulilah for being a muslim because all these things are prevented from us.

[Rabi'ya]

there are still women who do suffer from post natal depression, being Muslim does not eradicate such things. I suggest this woman had no support and felt very alone following the birth of her child. We should always try to support new mohters to prevernt this from happening in our community.
