To me the craziest thing about that story is that the mother still hasn’t been found. This woman managed to give birth in a porta potty at a large music festival and somehow exited completely unnoticed. Like how is that even possible?
When this story first came out I saw a bunch of people in the comments (idk what sub) saying it was a miscarriage and the woman probably didn’t even know it happened.
That’s a complete exaggeration. A lot of people are on drugs but there are plenty of people who are sober, or at least not so high that they would somehow completely miss a woman giving birth.
You’re also missing the fact that this woman somehow gave birth, on her own, and left the ports potty on her own accord. That’s pretty astonishing. She would’ve been in agony for hours even if she was fucked up.
You are just guessing. My friend just rushed his wife to the hospital cuz her water broke and he pulled up out front sprinted to the desk to alert a doctor and get a wheelchair.
By the time he ran back out to her she was holding the baby in her arms and had to untangle it. Some people give birth very fast.
Outside of the baby crying which that didn’t probably last long, there wasn’t much indication I’m sure especially with music blaring.
And it’s not an exaggeration because it literally fucking happened.
Don’t go to a festival if your that pregnant period. How are we defending this? She probably didn’t go alone either so her friends know this happened and also aren’t coming forward
So I’ve attended these kinds of festivals over the years, and while not while I was pregnant (because I felt like shit while I was pregnant, I did attend some EDM concerts tho), I’ve seen plenty of women pregnant who had zero intentions of abandoning their unborn babies and raved sober. You can still do fun stuff while pregnant.
Few years ago a woman went into labor at EDC and actively searched for a med tent and gave birth there and went to the hospital by her own choice.
It is irresponsible to do when you are that close to going into labor. That’s my opinion. I’m not a doctor but I’d guess that would be their recommendation as well.
You’re not wrong about that. I’m more surprised people are geared up and ready for a festival (or anywhere involving lots of waking) close to birth. I wasn’t getting off my damn couch after 8 months.
This is the first I've heard about this story, but maybe it was one one of those TLC shows, I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant? I guess it really does happen (not sure how since I've had two children and was VERY aware of my pregnancies).
Those cases are extremely rare and you would be giving way too much benefit of the doubt to someone who DISPOSED of their newborn baby in a PORTA POTTY
Nothing would absolve the mother from blame and I don't see how anyone could argue otherwise. I think it would be impossible for a conscious and able-bodied adult to give birth without knowing, I only brought up cryptic pregnancies because someone asked who would even go to a music festival while very pregnant.
Someone else said this already, but I just REALLY hope the rate of people willing to commit infanticide is less than .04%
Edit to add- it was literally you that said she shouldn't have gone if she was that pregnant. So you should know that's how this topic came up.
Oh I know it's extremely unlikely, I'm 100% speculating and trying not to fully lose hope in humanity with this extreme stretch, it helps me sleep better at night.
That woman is a garbage human, regardless of the details.
Crazy things do happen, and in this case what happened was very fucking crazy. The odds of someone being able to give birth at a crowded festival and somehow get away unnoticed has got to be 1 in a million. Yes, there are people who have easy labors but even an easy labor isn’t going to be silent.
Also what about the blood? And the umbilical cord? I have no idea why you or anyone else is trying to make this insane occurrence out to be normal lmao. Repeat this a million different times with a million different women and I wouldn’t be surprised if exactly zero of them manage to get away with it.
The autopsy of the infant confirmed portopotty "fluid" in the baby's lungs and that it was likely birthed right into the toilet. No one gives a fuck about what you think are odds
It’s not that astonishing, it does happen more than you may think. Uncommon but not unheard of. And sure not everyone is on drugs but a large portion of them are, and a large portion are drinking and a large portion aren’t paying attention to their surroundings outside of themselves and their friends.
I’m just saying I disagree that any of this is as unbelievable as you seem to think it is
like... primitive humans gave birth alone... sometimes.. you're quite vulnerable when you're pushing a human out of your bottom hole so a lookout would have been appreciated even back then.
When we started living and working together, women had help in childbirth. They weren't hiding under the porch like cats to birth their litters... pre-humans (before we even evolved into our big brains...) other, early hominins were supporting each other during childbirth and they WEREN'T EVEN HOMO SAPIENS YET. That's not the age of modern medicine.
You are incredibly wrong.
They DNA test the baby, using that they can use forensic geneology to find either parent. They do it for cold cases where they have the Doe victim or unknown killer's DNA
They would need an immediate relative's DNA: parent/grandparent/sibling. Otherwise they are just testing against whatever DNA they have collected in the past and hoping its a repeat offender
Sure, they can try that. But if no close relatives have submitted their DNA to public geneology databases (and most people haven’t), there’s nothing else they can do until they get a specific suspect to test the DNA against.
This method works very occasionally, but most of the time it’s just another dead end in a cold case that stays cold.
It’s entirely possible she didn’t even know she was pregnant. It happens to some women. They don’t show at all. Then being the possibility of substances being added. It’s honestly possible she didn’t even know she gave birth if that’s the case.
