She didn’t know what to do after giving birth
Newborn Found Alive In Trash Bin:
Teenager Allegedly Dumps Newborn Baby In Dumpster:
Police in Auburn, Indiana arrested 19-year-old Alison Lesch for allegedly dumping her hours old baby into her apartment complex’s dumpster.
Allegedly she said that she didn’t know what do to after giving birth. Yet she knew how to place the baby in a plastic bag nad throw it in the dumpster.
In Indiana the safe haven laws say that you have 45 days to surrender the baby to a safe haven.
Luckily the baby was ok but Lesch has been charged with attempted murder.

How could the Safe Haven Law make it any easier for these “moms”?!!!!! She just didn’t care.

No excuse whatsoever for what she did, but this incubator grew up in a society that tells her it’s not a baby while it’s growing inside her and that she has the “right” to terminate its life. Why would anyone assume she’ll consider it a baby once it’s born when it wasn’t a baby to her when it was in her womb? The women who dump babies like this don’t see infants as living human beings but rather just extensions of themselves that they have the right to dispose of if they want to, like cutting their hair or trimming their toenails.

Abortion rights have NOTHING to do with a selfish little girl throwing her baby away. If that was the case, don’t you think she would have had the damn abortion rather than go through the pregnancy and birth of something she didn’t want?

She supposedly didn’t know she was pregnant. So that might explain why she didn’t get an abortion. Secondly, abortion laws DO have something to do with this. Abortion HAS cheapened infant life. If someone can abort a pregnancy because a “baby just wouldn’t work” in someones life, well then someone surely could toss one out in the Sunday morning garbage too, right?

No, you’re not right. I believe that a woman and her doctor have the right to choose the best course of treatment, not the government. That being said, I have three children. I believe that my children are gifts from God, and I would protect them at all costs. I do not think that abortion being legal cheapens the value of a human life, so there goes your argument right there. My opinion (MY OPINION, NOT A FACT) is that alot of anti-abortionists, for lack of a better term, use situations like this to spout their own personal opinions, which like my own, are one person’s opinions, not facts.
I’m not going to get into a huge abortion debate. It won’t change your views, my views, anyone’s, so let’s leave the subject alone.

I agree with Ihavekidstoo, abortion has cheapened life, especially infant life. I believe that’s why we see so many babies killed outside the womb as well.

Hopefully this sweet innocent baby will be adopted by a family that will cherish every moment with him/her-
November 10th, 2009 at 10:04 am
Didn’t know what to do, my ass. she likely just didn’t care about the baby, and didn’t want the responsibility, and didn’t think she’d get caught. I’ve seen that same look on my nieces and nephews faces when you catch them in something they knew they shouldn’t do, and they’re mad they got caught. She’s just one of those that porbably isn’t old enough to be having sex, because she isn’t mature enough to handle all the possible consequences (and being old enough is on a case by case basis, mileage may vary).

She didn’t know what to do? Brushing her hair would have been a good start….
Seriously, though – 19 years old, and she couldn’t figure out that a newborn does not go in a plastic bag in the dumpster? She NEEDS to be charged with attempted murder; I’m glad the powers-that-be got it right for a change. Hopefully a few years in the pokey will be long enough for her to figure out where a newborn SHOULD be placed.

Everyone knows about safe haven laws nowadays, there is absolutely no excuse for this.
November 10th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
No WAY does this bitch deserve ANY sympathy!! No WAY does this girl have a leg to stand on. EVERYone knows about safe haven laws. EVERYone knows it’s WRONG to throw a baby in the trash. I was 19 when i had my child, too. Age is no excuse. I live in Auburn, and I want to hunt this bitch down and hurt her very badly. She’s lucky she’s in jail. It’s people like her that give young parents a bad name. I hope the father will step up and take responsibility. Maybe she can go home with him? It’s his baby too. He deserves a chance.
November 10th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
As I said, mileage may vary. there are people that are mature enough at 16, 17, and 18 to take tcare of a baby, and there are people that aren’t mature enough at 30. She looks like a spoiled rotten little bitch who think’s she’s all big and bad.
And on the Safe Haven law thing, I never encoutnered anything about them until I started being on the internet looking up stuff about babies after I had my son, this chick looks like the kind that thinks that anything like getting on the internet (except maybe for Myspace or something) is not cool. She looks that selfish and willfully ignorant.
November 10th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
THAT is a teenager? She looks like a 25 year old stripper!! Well – Thank God the baby is okay. I hope this skeevy tramp enjoys jail. They like freshies. She’ll learn fast how mamnma like her muffin buttered.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:49 am
I thought she looked really old too haha
November 10th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Oh gee, she didn’t probably didn’t know that spreading her legs while naked could lead to pregnancy. She probably thought she was eating too much pizza and that’s why her stomach started to protrude. Hmmm, she probably thought she had to take a crap when labor pains came. She obviously thought she passed a load of sh*t if she felt inclined to put it in a bag and throw it in the dumpster. Afterall, that what I do to the stuff that comes out of my dog when I walk him.
Will father step up and take care of the baby? I seriously doubt it. She probably can’t narrow down which of the penises that entered her domain caused the baby. How’s she going to pick one to take care of it?
April, I’ll bet that the skeevy tramp serves very little time. She’ll plead some stupid thing like emotional duress and someone will feel bad for her and let her out to procreate another day.

How the hell could you miss labor pains? How is that possible? I passed out it hurt so bad.
November 10th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Labor pains are another thing where mileage my vary. When I had my first son, the pains felt to me like bad menstrual cramps, but I have a fairly high pain tolerance (good thing too, they weren’t able to get an IV in, so he was born totally natural, no pain killers, no epidural, just me and whatever natural pain killers my body produced).
November 11th, 2009 at 8:06 am
I had all six of mine natural, Jenn from NM, and I also have a very high pain tolerance. But you still can’t miss the fact that they are labor pains. No way. The pain might not be too severe, but the lower abdominal pressure would give it away. With menstrual pains, you don’t feel like you are trying to pass your uterus.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Not to mention feeling like you have to push RIGHT NOW. I had to wait for my doctor to do an emergency c-section for about 45 minutes and you just feel like you HAVE to get the baby out. Which is also a pretty unique feeling.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Actually, a lot of times, when these womene say they didn’t know they were pregnant, their first clue is the labor pains, so I don’t think she missed those.
But missing the increase in stomach size, and baby moving, I don’t get. I’m a big girl myself, but i still can tell when there is a bun in there, and as you getting closer to delivering, the little one doesn’t have as much room to move, so it should get harder to miss those lovely little kicks and punches, even if the placanta shielded them early on (if it is attached towards tha front, it’s like they’re punching/kicking a big squishy pillow, so they’re harder to feel). I know my current little one lets me know he’s there several times a day, and he still has about three months to go. I’ll give her freaking out if she really had no clue (which serves to underscore the importance of decent sex education at some point in their lives), but she made the selfish choice, and that is just unexcusable, go to a hospital, you’ll need to get checked out anyway after giving birth, and you can put them up for adoption from there if you don’t want them or can’t take care of them.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Yup, I just had my baby on Saturday. I actually didn’t know I was pregnant for the first four months (I was on birth control, so I didn’t miss a period, my doctor explained why but it went WAYYYY over my head, lol) but yeah, the first thing that clued me in was the little kicks. It is a very very very different feeling than anything else in the world.
I kinda miss it
November 11th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
And another thing, I know this girl personally. She was very rude, extremely selfish, and had a drug problem. That’s why I have no sympathy. Having a baby would cramp her style.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Hmmm, that sounds like she was a selfish little cunt, not someone who doesn’t value an infant’s life because abortion is legal, doesn’t it?
November 11th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Basically, since she doesn’t even seem to value her own, I don’t think the legality of abortion would make a difference to her at all.
She looked like a real piece of work to me, and you confirmed my judgement of her character, she has a classic “fuck you all” face.
November 12th, 2009 at 9:57 am
abortion hasn’t cheapened life….the “lay down and do it with any dog that comes along and screw the consequences” has cheapened life. the smart ass attitude of some girls these days “don’t even tell me what to do…you don’t know my life (flip of the head and hand)” syndrome.. couple that with increasing use of illegal drugs and alcohol consumption….and we better start placing special dumpsters here and there to catch the fallout. they can’t take care of their own lives let alone another’s. what a waste.
November 15th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Wow. Very good point!
November 14th, 2009 at 11:57 am
I’m so sick of people saying “I was young. I didn’t know what to do!” I was a very young mom…younger than this girl. However I knew by the second/third month that something was “different” with my body. I was afraid, even contemplated abortion. Thankfully I had LOTS of support from both families, I know this isnt always the case. Admittedly, I was able to make better decisions when I had my second child ten YEARS later. With the 2nd child,I understood that breast-feeding was better than commercial formula, that reading to him and having him on a schedule was beneficial…Certain things I didnt know with the first child.
Ignorance does NOT/ did NOT relieve me of my responsibilities as a mother! I was still required to be the best mom I could be regardless of the mistakes I made (laughing to self at a couple stupid things I did.)….thankfully she’s turning out pretty good….She’s a sophomore at a top ten University and I’m soooo proud!
In a nutshell, youth is NOT an excuse to abuse/neglect a child!
November 16th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Can I just put this out there. I don’t want any reply I just have to say this. My husband and I have had the misfortune to not be blessed with the ability to have our own children. Even worse, my husband has a medical condition that makes us “unlikely” candidates for adoption! We are two of the most wanting parent-wanna-by’s if there ever were any! Saying that, why, WHY is it that thee are SO MANY DAMN BABIES JUST TOSSED AWAY IN THE TRASH???? I don’t get it! I just don’t get it! I mean I understand the young ones being scared and feeling alone or having misconceptions of “being in trouble” for being pregnant, but come on! It’s unfortunate, to say the least! Leave EVERY single baby on our door step!!! Heck, my mother would love you! We’d owe you the rest of our blessed and happy lives! If it means a life with denial that you had a child…fine! DON’T make the child suffer for your mistakes or your embarrassments! Please, if any mother-to-be or mother who is scared or just strung out, or even if you’ve never made the right choices, at least make one, one right decision and leave them with a priest or at the Emergency room or with someone! Please, Please, PLEASE stop throwing them away! From a mom-wanna-be to those who have their reasons….do the right thing!
