Found Safe MO - Newborn girl, born today, abducted by 2 men, Lebanon, 25 Aug 2020

Fantastic news!

Yes indeed!

And just when you think you’ve heard/seen it all!

I’m still confused

Poor little baby, born into drama. May her life from now on be safe and secure.

They say the baby is safe but what about the mother? It seems to me that she is probably a victim in all this as well. She needed medical care after the birth at the very least but can you imagine the horror of having your newborn baby whisked away at the moment of birth by two men who then disappear?

Not sure about that.

I'm glad the baby is safe, but I need answers dammit!!! What the heck was this all about?

 

[TTF14]

In light of the termination of parental rights issue......
The mother is probably the partner of Steven, and the newborn is their child. They have probably been notified that they were to relinquish the newborn at birth and this is their way of making sure that doesn't happen.

..... MOO


ETA: SO glad she's been found safe. I still wouldn't be surprised if my scenario isn't the truth.

I think you're probably right.

MO Amber Alert: Here's the story behind the missing baby in Lebanon

Laclede County Sheriff David Millsap said the case started Tuesday afternoon when a woman receiving care at a hospital in Lebanon told authorities her newborn baby was missing.

The original story, Millsap said, was that the woman gave birth on the side of the road in Lebanon and left her baby with some passers-by who stopped to help. Those passers-by were supposed to follow the woman to the hospital, she said, but they didn't show up.

Millsap said investigators were able to quickly determine that story wasn't true.

The real story, Millsap said, is that the woman gave birth in a camper in rural Laclede County and then was taken to the hospital by a relative because she was having complications.

The woman left her newborn baby with an associate named "Mike" with the understanding that Mike would bring the baby to the hospital, but Mike did not follow through.

Millsap said investigators learned that "Mike" and/or the baby's father, Steven Bohlinger, took the baby to one of Bohlinger's relatives in Laclede County, who then took the baby to a different relative in Webster County.

The relative in Webster County saw an Amber Alert that was issued for the child Tuesday afternoon and contacted law enforcement, who responded and took the baby to the hospital.

Millsap said he was told by paramedics the baby appeared to be healthy. He said the child will likely be taken into state custody after leaving the hospital.

One wonders if this was a misguided attempt on the part of Steve and/or “Mike” to rescue the baby from an unsafe environment. The fact that the mother lied to LE doesn’t speak well for her, and the baby probably going to state custody confirms there is a problem. I’m glad that the relative in Webster county did the right thing when they became aware of the Amber Alert.

I think you're probably right.

Or it could be another child while she was pregnant with this one. We also don’t know if the woman in that court proceeding is the same woman that just gave birth.

What in the wide wide world of sports?!?!?!?

 

[YaYa_521]

I wonder if they got the baby's blood tests back yet.

What in the wide wide world of sports?!?!?!?

None of this story makes any sense. Why would the newborn -totally newborn, an hour old-- be separated from Mom on the way to the hospital?

There are no reports of Mom being unconscious or impaired. It is so hard to imagine why that decision was made. I wonder if we will ever know what happened?
