So Sad

OCEAN CITY, Md. - Investigators found three tiny bodies wrapped in plastic and hidden at the home of a woman who was charged last week with killing her newborn child, police said Monday.

None of the bodies was full-term, and only one of the four deaths was recent, said Ocean City Police spokesman Barry Neeb. "The rest could be a number of years old," he said.

Two of the bodies were found in a trunk in Christy Freeman's bedroom, and another was in a garbage bag found in a motor home parked in her driveway, police said. The remains were sent to the office of the chief medical examiner in Baltimore to determine the causes of their deaths, their ages and if all were related to Freeman.

Freeman, 37, came to authorities' attention on Thursday while she was hospitalized.

Medical personnel called police after determining she had been pregnant but could not account for the child.

After interviewing her, police searched Freeman's home and found the body of an infant wrapped in a blanket. Freeman was charged with murder and manslaughter under a 2005 law allowing charges for the death of a fetus that can live outside the womb.

Officers continued searching the home and property during the weekend and found the other tiny bodies, Neeb said.

Freeman lived in the second floor of the building with her boyfriend and her four other children, all of whom are safe, police said Monday. The building is less than a block off the Coastal Highway, the main north-south route in this resort town.

Freeman, owner of Classic Taxi in Ocean City, was to have a bond hearing later Monday.

This is incredibly sad, man. It hurts my heart. Babies are precious, beautiful miracles. They are the only ones among us that are truly blameless. They haven't been here long enough to hurt anyone. They always look amazing, even when they first wake up. And they are totally dependant. They can't live without care. So many people in this county are trying desprately to concieve and failing. There is ALWAYS someone willing to take care of a baby. I have FOUR that drive me NUTS but I would still care for a baby in need. Why kill them? Where is the compassion? If you don't want them to live the terrible life that you're living-GIVE THE BABY AWAY. It's a tough world-but I could never think of killing a baby as a "mercy killing", Good God, why???
And I don't know if this has occured to anyone yet, but if this county were to go "Pro-Life" this would happen alot more. I personally, could never have an abortion. It's against my own beliefs regarding life. But I am absolutely PRO-CHOICE. If you force a woman to have a baby she REALLY doesn't want-things like this happen!!!! I'd rather a woman get rid of it early, when it's still just a cluster of cells, than to have it grow to full term and BE BORN and have a birthday. and been a seperate entity and then be killed by it's creator. What a shame. It really is a shame.
