How sheltered and emotionally immature can one be at age 24? Not very. I don't care what excuse she comes up with, at 24 you know there are social services agencies out there. I'll bet if she thought she could sell the baby she'd be right on that.

found some old pics of her on myspace, think they were on a friends or family members page, not meth or drugs, she just looked very small skinny and child like, no confidence in herself. jmo moo

Sad thing about this story is, she'll go to jail/prison get "help" and the state will return this child back to her. So sad, she dont ever need another child even around her. MOO

Hope this poor little baby girl gets the new start in life she deserves. As for the undeserving momster, she will get a new start and a onesie prison jumpsuit

District Attorney Stephen Zappala said the young mother should have taken advantage of Pennsylvania's Safe Haven program.

Pennsylvania Safe Haven site:

All you have to do is bring your newborn (up to 28 days old) to a hospital and drop it off.

-----------

Remember, as long as the baby hasn’t been hurt and is under 28 days old, you will not get into trouble with the police.

If you want a woman with an 8 month old baby to use the Safe Haven law you should probably change it!! :furious:
There is not a Safe Haven for a child that age! Come on DA, you had to know that! :banghead:

Honestly even if she's not even fully "there" she's had other children. She has to know something about social services. How many of us can't handle things? How many times did we feel like just giving up and walking into the sunset? You can't. You don't. I need a flippin fresh start, but I'm not going to park my elderly mother under a treet defenseless to the elements and wild animals.

However we see this time and again and again with these young women. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to learn how to use frea*i* birth control of some sort. You got your tail pregnant you can get yourself a pill or whatever.

O/T, but not we have a neighbor all of around 22 years old. This is now baby #5. Five. Five kids. FIVE!!!!!!!! One has remained in her custody. Actually the father's custody who will now be shipped off to prison again so what happens to baby number #3, and #5?

Forgive me, but her brother who is all of ten years old tells all the neighbors "We're having another baby". I feel like saying "Ummmm, no WE are beause we're paying for it".

Sorry for the rant.

I see mental illness in her eyes. Has she been evaluated yet?

 

[Cherry]

lol NM read up; and back and see that first few mos will be in a mental facility. State run I wonder? And; just wtf, this is really sad. It's like Casey A all over again. The child is so lucky to be alive. Hopefully she will hv a real life; one that will lead her to college and beyond. She would never get that with this mother or her family that's clear. How sad.

WTF!!!!! Cutruzzula must serve up to 16 months incarceration then no contact for 7 1/2 years then she will be able to enter or try to enter back into this childs life. I wonder where the baby went, hopefully not to a relative. She should lose her rights.That baby could have died if those people did not see her leave the baby it was 30 degrees out. She did not care if that child was attacked by a wild animal or someone with bad intentions could have found and hurt her child.Sorry if she has a mental illness but she abandoned that child.

I hope to God that the baby didn't go to a family member!!

What happened to her other children? Didn't I read that she had 2 others?

“I think the sentence was fair,” said her attorney, Patrick Thomassey, who said his client has schizophrenia. He said she’s been doing well in jail and is getting help for her mental illness that earlier was going “unnoticed and untreated.”

“I think, in the end, this will all end up OK for her. Naturally, she’s going to miss her child,” he added, noting that she will be able to see the girl with a court order. The girl is currently living with her biological father.
