One More Way to Keep Babies Safe
Today I have a short article for you, but I really liked it. The catalyst for the article was a recent newborn drop-off at a Las Vegas hospital. Everything went smoothly and the baby is now in safe hands. The article reminded me of something I may have mentioned here on One By One Safe […]
Fitzpatrick Pleads Guilty to Receive Life in Prison
I have an update for you on the baby killed with a cinderblock. Christopher Fitzpatrick has pled guilty to first-degree murder of his baby girl and will receive life prison without parole. Prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty if he agreed to testify against the mother, Jennifer Barrise. She is now facing charges […]
Kiyana Higgins: History of Abuse
I found an article regarding the Kiyana Higgins trial with many more details. As I previously reported, her 1-year-old daughter died from malnourishment and she, her sister, and mother have all been indicted for murder one. The first article I linked to did not mention that she has two other children that the women have […]
Eddie Salazar Sr.- What Really Happened?
This story is despicable. A man invented four different stories to cover up the fact that he murdered- possibly accidently- his infant son. At first, Eddie Salazar Sr., 31, even created an elaborate scenario involving men breaking into his house and him being knocked unconscious as explanation for the baby’s disappearance. What actually happened was […]
Ethics Journal Publishes After-Birth Abortion Paper
Just when I think the articles I read for this website can’t get any stranger… Two people, Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva actually published a paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics advocating baby murder.

Sonia Hermosillo, 31, has been ruled competent to stand trial for the murder of her infant son which took place in August. From what her husbands says, she suffered from post-partum depression which was exacerbated by the fact that her son was born with several medical issues. Allegedly, she threw him from the fourth level […]
Jamie Burcham Attempts to Give Up Newborn
This is a new one. A mother recognized that she was unable to care for her newborn and left it in the care of a family member. I was confused at first as to why the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services would have a problem with this. They said a new parent cannot leave their […]
Nadia Zahirudin is Sentenced
Wisconsin teen Nadia Zahirudin, 17, was sentenced for a case of child abandonment that occurred last May. Instead of taking her newborn to a nearby hospital, she elected to leave it by a church dumpster instead. Fortunately for the baby and for her, the baby survived. She did receive three years of probation, however. Three […]
