Summary-
Recently, a newborn baby was found wrapped in a garbage bag and stuffed in a tote bag with other knick-knacks, drowning in the Mississippi River. The mother is suspected to have given birth to the baby without any medical assistance and then thrown the child into the river; police are trying to find the mother's identity by the articles that were in the tote.
Reaction:
When I read this story, I found it horribly gruesome; how could somebody have the heart to just toss their newborn child into a river? The mother should have taken advantage of the state's safe haven policy and dropped the baby off, no questions asked at any hospital.
Criteria:
This story, out of the six criteria has:
Unusualness- New mothers don't usually throw their children into rivers
Timeliness- It happened very recently
Proximity- It happened in Minnesota
