Newborn found buried alive alongside Los Angeles area walking path

(CNN)The crying coming from under a block of asphalt sounded like it was from a cat to Angelica Blount. But it turned out to be an abandoned baby that police say was deliberately buried under debris along a Los Angeles area walking path.

Blount was walking in Compton on Friday, when her sister Evangelina McCrary pointed the sound out to her.

"She told me, 'Can you hear the baby crying?'" Blount told CNN affiliate KABC. "And I said, 'I don't know; it might be a cat.' And my sister said, 'No, it's a baby crying.'"

They called 911.

Many of these irrationalities comes from three words "God said so". They cover a wide range of horrible feats of inhumanity and are not just found in Judeo-Christan holy books. It is universal.

Those three words have caused untold wars and misery for the commoner throughout history. This is why I am so against fundamentalism of any type. "God said so" is not a valid excuse to do anything but worship peacefully imo.

Or maybe didn't even know she was pregnant. I've never watched it but there's a whole TV show about that.

I can't imagine that choosing to give birth and then burying a child alive would have been her plan all along.

California has a law that says you can drop a baby off at a hospital, a police station, a church, a fire station, and other safe places and you will not be prosecuted. NOW whoever did this (don't automatically assume it's the mother -- I'm guessing it's something way worse) will be prosecuted for attempted murder and child endangerment, as well they should be.

Now this baby will become property of the state, face physical and sexual abuse in foster care only to be kicked out by the system at age 18 then be forced to committed crimes to keep afloat.

If its mother had the choice of abortion all of this would have been prevented.
