I live in Nashville too, and this just makes me sick to my stomach. So many women on here worry to death praying that if they do everything as perfectly as possible, their baby will come out strong and healthy. And here, this lady gets no prenatal care and still has 2 full-term, healthy twins, that she doesn't want and murders. It is just so unfair that we stress and work so hard, and still worry constantly that something bad might happen, when people like this do NOTHING to ensure a healthy pregnancy, and get one anyway. It just makes me sick. /rant.

and this is why i believe in the death penalty (not meant for argument personal opinion) there is just no need to send someone who has committed such a horrid act and the only punishment is jail?

This really is a disturbing read considering the girl was apparently religious and a university graduate with lots of friends

How could anyone do something like that? Really makes you wonder what goes on inside some peoples heads.

My friend lost her twin boys at 22 weeks after trying so hard Was so sad as she was so ready, settled with her fiance, tried for a year to get pregnant and both have great jobs.
I found out not long after this I was 5 months gone and didnt even know Telling my friend was awful. Plus had only been seeing OH 6 months, I had still been taking pill (cuz I didnt know) and to find out that me and LO were fine and healthy was a miracle. Ive never appreciated life more and I was the most non maternal person ever!

I saw this on...Anderson Cooper, I think? She's a 25 year old college grad, not some scared teen giving birth in a school restroom. I don't understand it and never will.

This is horrifying.

I don't understand why people keep pregnancies a secret like that.

I can't believe nobody saw that she was pregnant! With twins, nonetheless! That HAD to have been noticeable!

I just don't understand. Its one thing to unexpectedly fall pregnant and not want the baby. You have options at that point -- continue on with the pregnancy and adopt the baby into a home where s/he will be loved and cherished, or abort the pregnancy. I am not a supporter or abortion, either... but why pretend you're going to give those babies a solid chance at life and then kill them the minute they enter the world?

The fairness of it all isn't even the part that gets me. I don't believe in Karma or anything like it, so I've just come to accept that sometimes horrible people get all the good luck, while deserving, hard-working, loving parents get miscarriage after miscarriage.

And her poor father. Just thinking about unexpectedly finding a dead newborn makes me want to throw up. Can you imagine the scar he'll have from finding the dead body of a child that should be his grandbaby? I mean... how do you move on from that?

We had a very similar story here in Louisville a while back with a college student at U of L. Full term baby born in her dorm room bathroom.

Despite the medical examiner saying the baby was born alive and drowned, she maintained her story that the baby was born dead and was acquitted.

It was disgusting.

Having gone through 3 miscarriages to conceive the child I'm carrying, it was very hard to take.

We shouldn't pass judgement on her. No excuses for what she did but it sounds like her parents must have been very old fashioned Christians and she was obviously afraid to tell them. This whole story is very sad. In the end, she will get her judgement.

It's a horrid story to read and deep down we truly don't know what's going on in her mind. The media make her out to be this that and the other etc..
I'm not saying she's right for what she's done but at the same time I doubt she wanted to do what she did with killing two babies; I'd be scared if noone knew about my pregnancy & I had to give birth on my own let alone do it twice over..
I know a lot of ladies on here struggle a lot for when it comes to getting pregnant and wanting a child and a lot of money etc..
R.I.P though for the two little

The bible was her favorite book? I wonder if she ever actually read it.


So very very sad. I can't imagine how her parents must be feeling- her killing her babies out of fear of them finding out is basically saying that they are such horrible people that she was better off killing her babies than them ever finding out that they became grandparents. I wonder why she seemed so sad...was it because she got caught? ...she didn't just kill one, she killed her first, then proceeded to kill the second afterwards...surely once she killed the first if she had felt that bad about it, she would have stopped, yes? I just don't get it.

We had something similar happen out here with a girl- she dumped her newborn in a trash bin outside of a grocery store that I frequented. That girl was a teenager (not that it is okay if a teenager does it).

This lady was 25 though...surely old enough to be living on her own, she is an adult for god sake.

I think her age is what makes it harder to believe. I don't think there's any excuse for anyone to do something like this, but she's a grown adult and I just don't understand it. I also read in another article that she's engaged. I wonder what the father must think of this, and if he even knew about her pregnancy. I think what makes me so upset is thinking of how often we fret during pregnancy, making sure we sleep in the correct position, eat the right things, avoid certain foods and activities, etc. and pray that we are doing right in our pregnancy, but someone like this, who there is no way thought of or cared about any of that, has two healthy babies. I know, I know, life isn't fair, it just got to me today, thinking of all the stress I had just this past week, when I had contractions and spotting while I was sick, trying to make sure I took only the right medicines, and the lowest dosage, and suffered through most of it because those medicines don't do much, but I did it for my little one. And some people have perfectly healthy babies and never even have to think of those things, or care to think of them. Blah.
